Public bug reported: Currently nvtop in disco/eoan depends on package libnvidia-compute-418.
However Ubuntu provides several different versions of nVidia drivers: disco: 390, 410, 418 eoan: 390, 410, 418, 430 Also nVidia drivers are easily upgradable via a PPA [1]. Package nvtop depending on a specific libnvidia-compute-NNN version renders it uninstallable with any other nVidia driver version. Fix: Package nvtop should depend on: the lowest possible version available in a given Ubuntu release (disco/eoan: 390?) *OR* any following version officially released by nVidia [2]. So for disco and eoan this libnvidia-compute dependency should say: libnvidia-compute-390 | libnvidia-compute-396 | libnvidia-compute-410 | libnvidia-compute-415 | libnvidia-compute-418 | libnvidia-compute-430 Even if some of those packages are not [officially] available in Ubuntu. This also means that this package's dependencies should be updated each time a new driver is officially released by nVidia.
