2021-03-09 15:49:28 Alberto Milone description Currently, having different nvidia modules for the same kernel ABI is allowed. For example, both linux-modules-nvidia-450-5.4.0-66-generic and linux-modules-nvidia-460-5.4.0-66-generic can be installed at the same time. This can cause systems to boot using the wrong kernel modules. A simple fix is to make the modules conflict/replace/provide a virtual package such as linux-modules-nvidia-5.4.0-66-generic. Currently, having different nvidia modules for the same kernel ABI is allowed. For example, both linux-modules-nvidia-450-5.4.0-66-generic and linux-modules-nvidia-460-5.4.0-66-generic can be installed at the same time. This can cause systems to boot using the wrong kernel modules. We should make sure to have the linux-nvidia ABI packages depend on the correct userspace, as we already do for the linux-nvidia metapackages.

This can cause systems to boot using the wrong kernel modules. A simple fix is to use the same dependency on nvidia-kernel-common-$flavour for the binary (ABI) packages that the linux-modules-nvidia-$flavour packages already have.
