Bug Description

Binary package hint: nvidia-common

This line:

        if [ ${LATEST} != "none" ]; then

should quote the value of $LATEST:

        if [ "${LATEST}" != "none" ]; then

However, note that on my system, the output is:

mizar:[~] nvidia-detector
none
none

i.e. it still won't compare equal to "none"

Thanks for reporting the problem. That is correct.

I'm not sure as to why you're getting none more than once.

This bug was fixed in the package nvidia-common - 0.2.17

---------------
nvidia-common (0.2.17) lucid; urgency=low

  * setup.py:
    - Add pre-inst hook for the NVIDIA installer as
      the latter may interact badly with the Ubuntu
      packages(LP: #317703).
  * NvidiaDetector/nvidiadetector.py:
    - Handle driver flavours which have strings (instead
      of integers in their name).
  * NvidiaDetector/alternatives.py:
    - Alternatives class to get the list of alternatives
      and to get and set the alternative in use.
  * nvidia-common:
    - ${LATEST} should have quotation marks (LP: #505855).

Should I file a separate bug about the duplicate "none"? It doesn't seem correct, and the postinst script will behave differently.

Yes, please file a separate bug report about that.

FYI, the duplicate "none" seems to have gone away on that system in current Lucid, so I'm not filing a bug about it.
