I easily found the packages I needed to download by running the simple command shown here together with its output on my machine; you'll have to replace 290.10 by whichever package version you have installed: erdos:~ $ dpkg -l | grep 290.10 | cut -d' ' -f3 | xargs dpkg -s | egrep '^(Package:|Source:)' Package: libgl1-nvidia-alternatives Source: nvidia-graphics-drivers Package: libgl1-nvidia-glx Source: nvidia-graphics-drivers Package: libglx-nvidia-alternatives Source: nvidia-graphics-drivers Package: nvidia-alternative Source: nvidia-graphics-drivers Package: nvidia-glx Source: nvidia-graphics-drivers Package: nvidia-kernel-dkms Source: nvidia-graphics-drivers Package: nvidia-vdpau-driver Source: nvidia-graphics-drivers Package: xserver-xorg-video-nvidia Source: nvidia-graphics-drivers erdos:~ $ The Package lines tell you which packages are installed, and the Source lines tell you which directory they will be found in within the pool.
