This bug was fixed in the package nvidia-prime - 0.4.2~ubuntu13.10.1
---------------
nvidia-prime (0.4.2~ubuntu13.10.1) saucy-proposed; urgency=low
* debian/preinst.in:
- Remove leftover in the test condition. This was
causing the lightdm.conf file to be rewritten
every time. This is a serious problem on the
different Ubuntu flavours (LP: #1224098).
* debian/postinst.in:
- Apparently the printf command treats string values
with leading zeros as octal. Work around this by
removing any leading zeros (LP: #1219650).

Title:
Failed to install on 12.04.3 , /var/lib/dpkg/info/nvidia-
prime.postinst: 36: printf: 08: not completely converted
Status in “nvidia-prime” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in “nvidia-prime” source package in Precise:
Fix Committed
Status in “nvidia-prime” source package in Saucy:
Fix Released
Bug description:
SRU request:
[Impact]
* As a result of this bug, systems whose card has a bus id containing
numbers such as "08" or "09" numbers will trigger an error in printf
where it treats these string values with leading zeros as octal. This
causes the postinst script to fail.
[Test Case]
* Enable the precise-proposed or the saucy-proposed repository and
install nvidia-prime (0.4.2~hybrid0.0.1 in precise or 0.4.2~hybrid0.1
in saucy).
* If the package can be installed without errors, then the fix is
correct.
* Alternatively, you can launch the attached script (see comment #8) as
follows, you'll be able to reproduce the issue:
sh printf_test.sh reproduce
You can then test the fix by running the attached script without any
arguments:
sh printf_test.sh
[Regression Potential]
* The regression potential here is zero. As the attached script
demonstrates.
