Hi, My guess is that the package requires some old libs and thats why it tries to "downgrade" your machine.
I would suggest to use 1 of the options: 1. Use the official NVidia driver from NVidia's web site. 2. Grab the source package, recompile and installed the compiled package. I don't have much experience with Feisty (or for that matter, any ubuntu), but on my Fedora based machines at home, each time I had scenario like yours, I would get the SRPM, rebuild, install and be done with it.
