Bug Description
System:
Asus F8SN-D1 Laptop with a Geforce 9500m GS
Fresh install of Ubuntu Intrepid Alpha 6 AMD64
Steps to reproduce:
Open up Synaptic package manager (and authenticate,) so as to lock the Apt database.
Open up Jockey-GTK (hardware drivers GUI)
Chose to install the Nvidia 177 series driver (and authenticate.)
(Crash of jockey-gtk occurs.)
Comments:
This probably will occur if other package-dependent drivers are selected to be installed.
jockey-gtk should prompt to close synaptic and any other processes using the Apt database instead of crashing. I believe it did that in Ubuntu 8.04.

* Merge some bug fixes from trunk:
- Fix search_drivers() to not return unrelated available handlers.
- Change --search-driver UIs from confirmation dialog to displaying list
of matches. (One half of LP: #269454)
- OpenPrintingDri
(Other half of LP: #269454)
- Drop a lot of redundant probing from add_driverdb() and search_driver().
- Build KDE .ui -> python on build time, to avoid runtime uic dependency.
(LP: #271317)
- nvidia, fglrx handlers: Remove RgbPath option, it causes X.org to crash.
- ui.py: Update action button strings according to latest recommendations
from Matthew Thomas, thanks!
- ui.py: Properly intercept failure to connect to D-BUS. (LP: #258472)
* Add python-kde4-dev build dependency, now needed to get pykde4uic.
* fglrx, nvidia: Uninstall -kernel-source in disable(), thanks Alberto.
