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

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

actually i think the issue is deeper; and we _always_ installed two sets
of nvidia packages.

I think we have fixed this for the .2 release of focal however.

Bug description:
  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.
