Hi,
I had a slightly different error message with the same package,
mentioning there was a missing quote in /etc/init.d/nvidia-kernel

Adding a quote to line 8 of the /etc/init.d/nvidia-kernel script (at the end of
the awk command) made the apt-get run smoothly. Line 8 becomes:
NVIDIA_CARDS=`/usr/bin/lspci | awk '/nVidia/{print 1}' `
I'm not sure everything is fixed, but at least the adept-manager and
apt-get don't die on me anymore. This package had even made my upgrade
to Hardy fail. Bloody pain, had to finish it off by hand.
Cheers,
Matthieu
