Bug Description

Following the latest update of nvidia-drivers-460, my second monitor stopped working. I purged that package and attempted to reinstall with ubuntu-drivers autoinstall. The following error occured:

linux-modules-nvidia-460-generic : Depends: nvidia-kernel-common-460 (<= 460.39-1) but 460.56-0ubuntu0.20.04.1 is to be installed

I'm not sure why the dependency would say <= instead of >=. I suspect this is part of why my 2nd monitor stopped working and I'm having trouble reinstalling the latest driver.

I was able to run the ubuntu-drivers install command without problems on a liveusb (kubuntu 20.04, the same as my system). There seems to be something wrong with my installation. I'm sorry for posting this as a bug.
