This bug was fixed in the package jockey - 0.5-0ubuntu5

---------------
jockey (0.5-0ubuntu5) jaunty; urgency=low

  * Add debian/watch.
  * Add bzr-builddeb configuration.
  * data/handlers/fglrx.py: Enable again, 2:8.600-0ubuntu1 works on Jaunty
    now.
  * Merge bug fixes from trunk:
    - Fix KernelModuleHandler.available() to return False when the handler
      package is not available. This fixes the situation that Jockey
      advertises e. g. the nvidia driver before apt-get update was run, or on
      "free software only" installs. (LP: #341647)
    - kde/jockey-kde.desktop.in: Do not run as root any more, PolicyKit-KDE
      exists now; update README.txt
    - kde/jockey-kde: Port to knotify4. UIF exception approval and original
      patch by Jonathan Riddell. Now properly i18n'ed and integrated into
      standard build system.
    - Update German translations.
  * debian/control: Add policykit-kde dependency to jockey-kde.
  * Add madwifi handler (merged from trunk). This now takes care of properly
    flipping the blacklisting between ath5k and ath_pci (LP: #323830), and
    fixes the description and freeness state (LP: #290264)
  * jockey/oslib.py: Overwrite apt.InstallProgress.fork() to capture the
    child's stdout/stderr into temporary files, and then send that to logging.
    Before this, apt/dpkg output was sent to oblivion, making it hard to
    remotely debug package installation problems. (LP: #280291)
