Thank you very much, that helped. I was looking into the package itself 
but couldn't find anything useful, and pkg info nvidia-driver wasn't 
showing anything interesting either. I thought that pkg-message shows 
what's in pkg-descr, not files/pkg-message.in. And I forgot about the 
UPDATING file.

Best

Grzegorz
