NVIDIA_driver did, sure. I never had an issue with it. nvidia_driver,
however,
wouldn't.

That would be good. A number of times I'll start an update running in X, and
all of a sudden some time later, new Qt programs stop opening because the GL
libs have gone. Is it feasible to remove the test from the installer? Will it
cause problems?

It wasn't that. I could umount it manually, but when I cast I got the same
error again. It seems like it is created, then something in cast or the
nvidia_driver scripts tries to remove it, but fails.
