  [nvidia] nvidia-glx-177 -> -180 replacement does not work for cdrom

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  The upgrade has produce and unusable system using the 2.6.8-11 kernel due to garbage on one screen.
  ===
  After the update with alternate amd64 from 8.10 to 9.04 screen 1 is blank and screen 0 has altered resolution.
  ---
  Ran nvidia-settings and it reported nvidia drivers were not being used and to run as root nvidia-xconfig.
  This produced garbage on screen 0

  Booted 9.04 in recovery, ran fix xorg.conf.  Then boot failed because
  "no screen found".

  Booted 9.04 in recovery, ran fix broken packages.  "no screen found"
  again.

  Copied old xorg.conf to /etc/X11, booted 9.04.  This produced garbage
  on screen 0, screen 1 was drawn properly but menus did not work.

  Booted 8.10 kernel which worked normally, compared nvidia packages
  using Synaptic with a successful 9.04 upgrade on 32 bit.  After
  comparison, removed nvidia-glx-1980-dev and added envyng-core.

  Still garbage on screen 0, screen 1 was drawn properly and menus did
  not work when booting with 9.04 kernel.

  The 32 bit 9.04 has nvidia-108-libvdpau but cannot find it for amd64
  using Synaptic.  However, amd64 shows it with "dpkg -l | grep nvidia".
  see below…

  Can now run in old 8.10 kernel boot.
