[Bug 1461713] [NEW] nvidia-173 fails to install

[Carl Englund]

Public bug reported:

I think software-properties should be tagged in this since it offers to
install nvidia-173 (but fails to do so). One of these two packages
should be changed so that the driver is installed or so it isn't
offered.

Terminal output:

"root at sempron:~# LANG=EN && apt-get install nvidia-173
