update-manager unable to compute update (3rd party nvidia)

apt.log is attached, term.log is empty.

Thanks for your bugreport.

Could you please attach your /etc/apt/sources.list? Did you install the nvidia driver manually?

Thanks,
 Michael

Hi Mike,
Actually, my son installed the graphics driver...
Attached is the sources.list

Thanks,
Tim

HI,

it looks like the attachment did not make it to here. If you send it by mail you may have to go to launchpad.net and attach it manually.

Sorry for the trouble,
 Michael

2nd attempt to get you sources.list. This time through launchpad.net

Mike,
I uploaded the file from launchpad.net. It appears to be there now.
Thanks again for looking into this.

There's evidence of automatrix in the log files.

tjacobs:
What is the output of:
dpkg -l nvidia-\* | grep ii
dpkg -l \*envy\* | grep ii
dpkg -l \*autom\* | grep ii

Hi Sitsofe, here is the output requested:
tjacobs@tjacobs-desktop:~$ dpkg -l nvidia-\* | grep ii

Setting back to unconfirmed. The nvidia-glx 1.0.9629+2.6.17.6-2~amaranth package looks like it came from a 3rd party repository. It would be interesting to know where it came from...

According to my sources.list file, the driver came from here:

##Nvidia proprietary driver repository
deb http://seerofsouls.com/ edgy contrib

Also, googling the package, I see it only shows up in that repo as well. So I'm pretty confident that's it.

Is this still an issue? Edgy is not supported anymore.

No,
I have upgraded several times by now.

Thanks for following up. I'm closing this report due to your last comment. Don't hesitate to submit any new bug.
