After a second look, I think that hack was only needed for very old
releases, upgrades should go smoothly without the entries in that file
now.

Title:
obsolete drivers list may be out of date
Status in ubuntu-drivers-common package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
ubuntu-drivers-common provides a file named obsolete which is
presumably a list of obsolete nvidia drivers. It doesn't seem to have
been updated recently:
$ ls -lh /usr/share/ubuntu-drivers-common/obsolete
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 162 Jun 24 2011
/usr/share/ubuntu-drivers-common/obsolete
[ 3:30PM 10459 ] [ bdmurray@impulse:/tmp/dist-upgrader ]
$ cat /usr/share/ubuntu-drivers-common/obsolete
nvidia-glx
nvidia-glx-new
nvidia-glx-legacy
nvidia-glx-envy
nvidia-glx-new-envy
nvidia-glx-legacy-envy
nvidia-glx-177
nvidia-glx-71
nvidia-glx-190
nvidia-glx-195
Does it in fact need updating?
