[Bug 1874310] [NEW] downloading and installing updates may result in stray packages installed

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

Public bug reported:

downloading and installing updates may result in stray packages
installed


I am on OEM certified machine with nvidia graphics driver card.

I chose to use nonfree & download/install updates.

in target i ended up with manual linux-modules-nvidia-440-generic-hwe-20.04 package
and automatically installed linux-image-5.4.0-26-generic linux-modules-5.4.0-26-generic linux-modules-nvidia-440-5.4.0-26-generic.

Which is ok, they are extra.

It sounds like we are installing downloaded updates, rather than
attempting a new dist-upgrade in target with cached downloads.
