Bug Description
First off I used install package to install the NVidia drivers, then I found you needed to use the restricted device manager to install. I then installed the restricted device manager and selected NVidia drivers to install. At this point the restricted driver manager started the install package manager and promptly crashed complaining about overwriting files. At this point I deinstalled the nvidia drivers completely and tried again. This time it worked OK, however since then the system has frozen up a few times... sigh

You need to remove nvidia-settings before you can install the driver (which includes that binary). The packages conflict now, so you should not be able to come up with this anymore.
