The dependencies are intentionally very strict, to ensure that kernel / nvidia drivers / nvidia userspace are all installed and are compatible with each other.
However, it was intended to be upgradable unattended. And since one can have up to three kernel ABIs on disk, one should in theory be allowed to have 3 sets of nvidia modules for older ABIs on disk as well. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-restricted-modules in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1926439 Title: Dependencies conflicts breaks upgrade process Status in NVIDIA Drivers Ubuntu: New Status in unattended-upgrades: New Status in linux-restricted-modules package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Latest updates of linux-restricted-modules breaks upgrade process, updates cannot be installed without removing nvidia modules for previous kernel version, unattended-upgrade cannot do that, as result we have broken system without nvidia driver ~# apt full-upgrade Reading package lists...
