Is this the NVDAgraphics IPS or SYSV package?

The contents of the SYSV NVDAgraphics package, in particular
/usr/X11/lib/modules/drivers[/amd64]/nvdia_drv.so will disappear
on the upgrade from 129 to 130 due to the IPS bug that removes
non-empty directories populated by SYSV packages.  Did you happen
to install a different version of the NVIDIA driver?

sorry, i don't remember well... mounting the old BE, i notice:
# ls -lsd var/sadm/pkg/NVDAgraphics*
2 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4 2009-01-24 15:31 var/sadm/pkg/NVDAgraphics/
2 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4 2009-01-24 15:31 var/sadm/pkg/NVDAgraphicsr/
corresponding to:
# cat var/sadm/pkg/NVDAgraphics/pkginfo
CATEGORY=system,graphics
VENDOR=NVIDIA Corporation
NAME=NVIDIA Graphics System Software
VERSION=177.80,REV=2008.10.02.14.10
HOTLINE=Please contact your local service provider
PKG=NVDAgraphics
ARCH=i386
DESC=X and OpenGL Drivers for NVIDIA Quadro graphics

so i suppose it is SYSV package
