Comment 0 for bug 2051424

I'm on jammy, all available upgrades installed. My sources:

    deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jammy main restricted universe multiverse
    deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jammy-updates main restricted universe multiverse
    deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jammy-security main restricted universe multiverse

There are two problems with libnvidia-common-535 packaging:

1. Outdated versions are still offered

2. It is phasing all the time, at %0, even though not listed as a phasing one at
https://ubuntu-archive-team.ubuntu.com/phased-updates.html

Compare this

Out of the whole set of nvidia-driver-535 packages it is the only one of the kind. Demo script:

    #!/usr/bin/env bash

    nv_pkgs=(
        libnvidia-cfg1-535
        libnvidia-common-535
        libnvidia-compute-535
        libnvidia-decode-535

        nvidia-driver-535
        nvidia-kernel-common-535
        nvidia-kernel-source-535
        nvidia-utils-535
        xserver-xorg-video-nvidia-535
    )

    print_count () {
        printf '== %s ==\n' "$1"

        for pkg in "${nv_pkgs[@]}"; do
            n=$(apt-cache policy "$pkg" | grep -Ec "$2")
            printf '%s %s\n' "$n" "$pkg"
        done

        echo
    }

    print_count 'Available versions' '^.....535'

gjs and ssl packages are listed in phased-updates.html, no problem.

Evidently, libnvidia-common-530 has the same flaw as libnvidia-common-535.

nvidia-firmware-535-535.104.05 and nvidia-firmware-535-535.146.02 are not listed in
phased-updates.html, something is wrong with them.
