The last time I touched Additional Drivers was about a month ago, when
this happened: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-
graphics-drivers-570/+bug/2120245

Since then it seems some automatic update has happened and I have 575
installed, but now Additional Drivers does not believe that the nvidia
driver is installed from apt at all (see screenshot). Note that 575
isn't even one of the available options there. I don't know why 575 is
installed. I did not ask for it.

Additionally I have a warning icon in the tray which pops up a message
saying:

"An error occured. Please run the package manager from the right click
menu or apt-get from a terminal to see what is wrong. The error message
was: ' Unknown error: <class: 'KeyError'> The cache has no package named
'libllvm20:i386'")' This usually means your installed packages have
unmet dependencies."

Despite all of this nothing seems to have actually stopped working,
including apt, which looks like it would perform an upgrade if I asked
it to.

Needless to say I have absolutely no idea how to reproduce.
