Public bug reported:
An update to linux-signatures-nvidia-6.8.0-79-generic removes nvidia-
driver-470 and related packages. This is undesirerable, as that driver
is one to support the Nvidia card in question.
I understand that nvidia-driver-470 won't be supported with neweer
kernels, but it should keep working for those staying with kernel 6.8.
