I wonder if anyone can shed some light on this please, as I am not sure
where to go next with it.
Essentially I attempted to beat the rush to Gutsy by upgrading from
Feisty this morning. In retrospect I should have first uninstalled the
nvidia drivers that were installed by Envy on my feisty build, but I am
afraid that thought only came to me with the benefit of hindsight!
Anyway, I suspect the presence of the nvidia drivers upset dpkg and
caused that component of the upgrade to fall over, necessitating a
reversion to vesa drivers.
I have tried to uninstall (purge, in fact) everything that might be
causing the following error, but no matter what I do it seems to be
present in one form or another when I try to install either nvidia-glx
or nvidia-glx-new.
The error is:

Google threw up a few (dated) suggestions, but I have exhausted those
and am stuck now.
Any thoughts on where to go next?
