This bug is caused by the lack of a complete "PATH" environment variable in the alternatives library provided by nvidia-common.

Thanks for reporting the problem.

This bug was fixed in the package nvidia-common - 0.2.20

---------------
nvidia-common (0.2.20) lucid; urgency=low

  * NvidiaDetector/alternatives.py:
    - Make sure that the PATH environment variable is set
      so that subprocess knows where to find binaries in
      /sbin (LP: #518879).
