Title: bcmwl-kernel-source fails to install if Nvidia card present in the absence of a network connection Status in bcmwl package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When enabling the proprietary packages option on the Ubuntu installation of xenial, bionic or cosmic x86_64 on a machine with both a wireless card requiring the bcmwl-kernel-source package and an additional Nvidia card present, the installation of the bcmwl-kernel- source package doesn't occur. While the current installer doesn't allow the selected proprietary driver packages to be viewed priorto completing their installation, I assume the problem is, for a machine without a network connection, that only the bcmwl-kernel-source package is available on the Live iso image and that the absence of the nvidia packages is fouling the installation of the bcmwl-kernel-source package. This issue was discovered on a MacPro 3,1 which originally had a ATI HD2600-XT graphics card as well as an Airport Extreme card. For that combination, the xenial, bionic and cosmic installers all were able to install the bcmwl-kernel-source package when proprietary driver package installation was enabled in the installer. After swapping out that ATI graphics card for a Nvidia GTX-680, I found that the xenial, bionic and cosmic installers now failed to install the bcmwl-kernel- source package in the presence of the Nvidia card without access to a network connection during the installation. So I believe that the installer needs to be more careful not to demand installation of proprietary driver packages that are not present on the Live image in the absence of a network connection. Currently, one has to either connect the machine to the ethernet to allow for network access to the repos for the installation of the bcmwl-kernel-source package to succeed or manually install the bcmwl- kernel-source package and its dependencies from the appropriate sub- directories in the pool directory of the Live usb image afterwards.
