[RedSingularity]

Well you did say that you are not using that driver correct?  Why not just remove it then?

Title:
  Old nVidia 173 constantly shows up as "distribution upgrade"

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  The old nVidia 173 driver sits inside the upgrade manager window as
  distribution upgrade, but it will never install because I opted to
  only install "NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (post-release
  updates)(version current-updates) from the "Additional Driver"
  application.

  Because of the nVdia 173 driver being always shown in update manager,
  the systems menu keeps showing that "Updates are available", even
  though there aren't any real new packages waiting to be installed.

  Is there any way to remove the reference to the old driver from the
  update manager?
