There is now now nvidia module in dkms. I can't run the nv driver as my graphics card overheats if I do.. so I doubt I'll be able to update this bug report.. :)

Deleting /usr/lib/libGL.so and then re-running apt-get dist-upgrade allows it to install and all the other packages also upgrade subsequently. I'm up and running again :)

Confirming problem. I also deleted /usr/lib/libGL.so and re-installed the package to get it to complete correctly.

This bug was fixed in the package nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 - 180.44-0ubuntu1

---------------
nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 (180.44-0ubuntu1) jaunty; urgency=low

  * New upstream release (LP: #348852).
    - Added support for the following GPUs:
      o Quadro FX 3800
      o Quadro FX 1800
      o Quadro FX 580
      o Quadro FX 380
      o Quadro NVS 295
      o GeForce GT 120
      o GeForce G100
    - Fixed a problem that could cause Xid errors and display corruption
      in certain cases when OpenGL is used to render to redirected windows,
      for example when Java2D is used with the -Dsun.java2d.opengl=true option.
    - Updated glGetStringi(GL_EXTENSIONS, i) to no longer return NULL in
      OpenGL 3.0 preview contexts.
    - Fixed OpenGL crashes while running KDE4's Plasma.
    - Fixed OpenGL crashes when using a large number of texture objects.
    - Fixed the timestamp reporting in the GL_NV_present_video extension
      on SDI II with Quadro FX 4800 and 5800.
    - Improved power management support on some systems, such as
      Hewlett-Packard xw4600 workstations.
    - Fixed a problem that caused the screen to flicker momentarily when
      OpenGL applications exit unexpectedly on GeForce 6 and 7 series GPUs.
    - Fixed an X server crash when an X client attempts to draw trapezoids
      and RenderAccel is disabled.
    - Improved recovery from certain types of errors.
    - Fixed a bug that caused Autodesk Maya to freeze when overlays are
      enabled.
    - Fixed an interaction problem between OpenGL and memory tracking
      libraries such as MicroQuill SmartHeap.
    - Added support for RG renderbuffers in OpenGL 3.0.
    - Added support for OpenGL 3.0 floating-point depth buffers.
    - Fixed a problem that caused Valgrind to crash when tracing a program
      that uses OpenGL.
    - Updated VDPAU to support VC-1/WMV acceleration on all GPUs supported
      by VDPAU; see the README for details.
    - Fixed VDPAU corruption on some H.264 clips.
    - Updated VDPAU documentation in the README and in vdpau.h, in
      particular regarding how to use the deinterlacing algorithms in the
      VdpVideoMixer object. Explicitly documented "half rate" deinterlacing,
      which should allow the advanced algorithms to run on more low-end
      systems.
    - Implemented a "skip chroma deinterlace" option in VDPAU, which should
      allow the advanced deinterlacing algorithms to run on more low-end
      systems. See vdpau.h.
    - Fixed VDPAU VC-1 decoding on 64-bit platforms.
    - Updated the VDPAU wrapper library to print dlerror() messages when
      driver loading problems occur.
    - Improved VDPAU's handling of some corrupt H.264 streams, and some
      corrupt/invalid MPEG streams on some GPUs.
    - Fixed VDPAU to correctly handle WMV "range reduction" on some GPUs.
      A minor backwards-compatible API change was made for this; see
      vdpau.h's documentation for structure field VdpPictureInfoVC1.rangered.
    - Fixed a problem that caused surfaces to be marked as visible too early
      when the blit presentation queue is in use.
    - Fixed VDPAU to prevent some cases of "display preemption" in the face
      o...
