Title:
installing linux-modules-nvidia does not remove nvidia-dkms, and the
kernel prioritizes the wrong version of the module from disk
Status in linux-restricted-modules package in Ubuntu:
New
Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-430 package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Installing nvidia-driver-430 pulls in nvidia-dkms-430 as a dependency.
Installing linux-modules-nvidia-430-generic does not satisfy this
dependency in its place; so nvidia-dkms-430 can't be removed without
also removing nvidia-driver-430, and then a bunch of other packages
also want to be removed as unused:
$ sudo apt purge nvidia-dkms-430
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer
required:

Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.
The following packages will be REMOVED:
nvidia-dkms-430* nvidia-driver-430*
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 2 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
After this operation, 1,269 kB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] n
Abort.

And it's not sufficient to leave both linux-modules-nvidia and nvidia-
dkms installed, because when both are present, the kernel erroneously
picks up the modules from nvidia-dkms first, and fails to load them if
SecureBoot is on and the local MOK is not enrolled.
linux-modules-nvidia-430-generic probably needs a versioned Provides:
so that it can be installed in place of nvidia-dkms-430.
