Bug#928497: nvidia-persistenced: Error in nvidia-persistenced source (postinst)

[Daniel Reichelt]

Hi Andreas,

this also happens on systems w/o nvidia hardware, i.e. when the module
isn't loaded at all. That situation produces similar syslog entries than
yours, except the messages prefixed NVRM are missing, of course.
