Package: nvidia-legacy-check
Version: 375.66-1
On upgrading from jessie to stretch, during apt-get dist-upgrade,
nvidia-legacy-check was installed, it correctly detected a legacy
graphics card and correctly informed the user to install
nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver and nvidia-legacy-340xx-kernel-dkms (although
the former depends on the latter). It finally asked whether the newer
nvidia-driver should be installed. I said No, then the upgrade aborted,
because nvidia-legacy-check returned an error.
I believe, regardless of the choice, nvidia-legacy-check should not
error out, but let apt-get dist-upgrade continue.
It took some efforts to continue the upgrade, involving something like
apt-get purge nvidia-legacy-check, apt --fix-broken install, and
apt-get dist-upgrade. The system then booted into the console, where the
legacy driver could be installed
Best regards,
Thomas

That is the intended behavior.
nvidia-legacy-check can also be disabled via preseeding.
