Public bug reported: Problem summary: ---------------- The metapackage "nvidia-driver-545_545.29.06-0ubuntu0.23.10.2" contains these dependencies for package "nvidia-dkms-545":
nvidia-dkms-545 (<= 545.29.06-1) nvidia-dkms-545 (>= 545.29.06) But installing that metapackage "nvidia- driver-545_545.29.06-0ubuntu0.23.10.2" doesn't requires nor auto-install package "nvidia-dkms-545_545.29.06-0ubuntu0.23.10.2". It seems that these dependencies aren't honored at all. In fact you can manually install/uninstall "nvidia-dkms-545" package without having any effect to "nvidia-driver-545" metapackage. Note: I haven't checked the open driver version but it probably has the same problem as dependencies are similar. Aditional info: --------------- # lsb_release -rd No LSB modules are available.
