[Bug 2048087] Re: RM: obsolete & superseded nvidia-graphics-drivers, leftovers

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

About this:

$ reverse-depends src:nvidia-graphics-drivers-460
Reverse-Depends
===============
* libnvidia-decode-455 (for libnvidia-decode-460)
* libnvidia-encode-455 (for libnvidia-encode-460)
* nvidia-headless-455 [amd64] (for nvidia-headless-460)
* nvidia-kernel-common-455 [amd64]

Packages without architectures listed are reverse-dependencies in:
amd64, i386


in all rmadison releases the above -455 binary packages have versions 460.91.03-*, meaning they got transitioned / taken over by nvidia-graphics-drivers-460.

in turn the equivalent -460 packages, have versions 470.* meaning they
all got taken over by nvidia-graphics-drivers-470 (still supported).
This is true in all updates, but also jammy release pocket.

This means it is safe to drop them from noble.

In jammy chroot:

(jammy-amd64)root at xnox-Inspiron-7400:~# apt install libnvidia-decode-455 libnvidia-encode-455 nvidia-headless-455 nvidia-kernel-common-455

The following additional packages will be installed:
  cpp-12 dctrl-tools dkms gcc-12 kmod libasan8 libbsd0 libgcc-12-dev libmd0
  libnvidia-cfg1-470 libnvidia-compute-470 libnvidia-decode-460 libnvidia-decode-470
  libnvidia-encode-460 libnvidia-encode-470 libpciaccess0 libtsan2 libx11-6 libx11-data
  libxau6 libxcb1 libxdmcp6 libxext6 nvidia-compute-utils-470 nvidia-dkms-470
  nvidia-headless-460 nvidia-headless-470 nvidia-headless-no-dkms-470
  nvidia-kernel-common-460 nvidia-kernel-common-470 nvidia-kernel-source-470

Please let me know if above inspection is sufficient, or if you want me
to upload nvidia-graphics-drivers-470 that explicitly produces the 455
transitionals, to avoid double source/binary package jump chain?
