** Description changed: 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. + 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.
