libwfb nvidia-utils-beta

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?
