Libwfb nvidia-utils-beta

Question

Hi i have a strange issue when iam installing nvidia-utils beta i have to always edit the install file
# arg 1: the new package version
post_install() {
echo -------------------------------
echo By using this package you accept the NVIDIA license,
echo which has been installed in /usr/share/licenses/nvidia/LICENSE
echo If you do not accept this license, you must remove the package immediately.
echo Dont forget to update your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
echo In order to use nvidia-settings, you need to install the 'gtk2' package.
echo In order to use nvidia-xconfig, you need to install the 'pkgconfig' package.
echo -------------------------------
echo nvidia 9746 drops support for Geforce 3 and 4 cards
echo If you have such a card, install the nvidia-96xx, nvidia-96xx-utils,
echo nvidia-96xx-ck, nvidia-96xx-beyond, nvidia-96xx-suspend2 packages
echo For a list of supported cards, see /usr/share/doc/nvidia/supported-cards.txt
echo -------------------------------
echo This drivers are beta. We recommend to use drivers from extra repo.
# echo ":: Updating symlinks to use built-in libwfb"
[b]# ln -sf /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libnvidia-wfb.so.* /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libwfb.so [/b]
# arg 1: the new package version
# arg 2: the old package version
post_upgrade() {
post_install $1
#post_remove() {
# echo ":: Updating symlinks to use xorg-server libwfb"
# ln -sf /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libwfb.so.* /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libwfb.so
op=$1
shift
$op $*
I have to always edit this line  ln -sf /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libnvidia-wfb.so.*  /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libwfb.so and make it  ln -sf /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libwfb.so.*  /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libwfb.so
then the drivers work otherwise all I get is a blinking screen can someone tell me why it is so?

Remove it from the source array in the PKGBUILD until the package gets fixed.
