I have the same situation as D. Hugh Redelmeier (except my Oneiric is updated from Natty)
and I agree with Him in the followings :>
Is your proposed fix to nvidia-common supposed to fix jockey's handling of installing proprietary AMD drivers (fglrx)? That seems rather counter-intuitive.
I have a fresh AMD64 installation of Oneiric, plus all updates (but no -proposed). Jockey fails with the message "sorry installation of this driver failed" "please have a look at the log file for details: /var/log/jockey.log". I have no nVidia hardware.
I attached my /var/log/jockey.log (the updated driver install failure part is from beginning UNTIL 2012-01-03 13:59:54,525)
The most interesting part is probably the following:>
2012-01-03 13:54:36,907 WARNING: /sys/module/fglrx_updates/drivers does not exist, cannot rebind fglrx_updates driver
