Possible mangled driver after kernel [solved]

[Little Girl]

Hey there,

After a shutdown and restart without running any additional commands,
the output of apt list --installed | grep "linux-image" shows that
the auto-removable kernel has been removed and the output of the cat
/proc/driver/nvidia/version command is the same as it was yesterday,
so it looks like all is well.

The mistake that caused the worrisome warning was in not waiting to
do the sudo apt-get autoremove command until after doing the reboot
required by the installation of the new kernel, which caused the
removal to be done to the driver that was still in use by the
still-active kernel, which no longer exists today. Problem solved.
