This bug was fixed in the package jockey - 0.7-0ubuntu1

---------------
jockey (0.7-0ubuntu1) natty; urgency=low

  * New upstream release:
    - Add support for repository fingerprints, and retrieve them from
      openprinting.org when available.
    - Allow binary drivers if they have a valid GPG fingerprint on a trusted
      https:// site. This is a lot weaker than our usual archive trust chain,
      but as it's very hard to get a chain of trust to printer driver vendors,
      relying on good SSL certificates is the next best step, and still much
      better than what the average user does when searching and downloading a
      driver by himself.
    - Add API for retrieving and installing a GPG key based on a fingerprint.
    - Merge add_repository() into install_package(), which is much more
      practical for verifying whether a package in a new repository ist
      trustworthy.
  * jockey/oslib.py, tests/oslib.py: Update for merged add_repository(), and
    implement GPG retrieval and repository trust checking. This now provides
    secure binary third-party drivers. (LP: #604698)
  * tests/oslib.py, test_ubuntu_package_header_modaliases(): Fix typo in
    regular expression which didn't catch "fglrx" before.
  * data/handlers/fglrx.py, data/handlers/nvidia.py: Disable these two
    handlers in a live system environment (if /rofs exists). We will most
    likely run out of RAM trying to download, build, and install all the
    packages in the RAM disk. (LP: #685017)
