[Bug 1873867] Re: ubuntu-drivers changes kernel flavour when installing nvidia

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package nvidia-graphics-drivers-440 -
440.82+really.440.64-0ubuntu5

---------------
nvidia-graphics-drivers-440 (440.82+really.440.64-0ubuntu5) focal; urgency=medium

  * Reverse the order of the versions of nvidia-dkms-440 in the dependency
    list, so that apt will default to the real package instead of picking an
    lrm package at "random" which won't necessarily match the target kernel.
    LP: #1873867.

  I was expecting for it to pick linux-modules-nvidia-440-generic-
  hwe-20.04 not linux-modules-nvidia-440-lowlatency-hwe-20.04

  As if it sorted things and picked last one?
