Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: upgrade-system
During the upgrade from edgy to feisty, the upgrade system uninstalled
my nvidia driver. That caused xorg to fail to start because xorg.conf
still referred to the nvidia driver. As far as I remember, I have never
touched the xorg.conf file so Ubuntu should have been able to prevent
the breakage by changing the xorg.conf file so that it referred to the
nv driver instead. Admittedly, it reported that it wanted to remove the
nvidia package, but I was in a hurry and didn't notice that. In short,
the update system should never cause xorg to be unstartable because that
is equivalent to a total system failure for a less experienced Linux
user.
