ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I'm rolling this setup for almost 3 yearst without a clean install. Migration
from 5 to 6 was seamless.
I used the following script to extract as much information about apt as i
could:
mkdir -p ~/nvidia-apt-bugreport && cd ~/nvidia-apt-bugreport
# 1) Basics: OS, kernel, package manager versions
( set -x
date --iso=seconds
cat /etc/os-release || true
uname -a
dpkg --print-architecture
apt --version
lsb_release -a 2>/dev/null || true
) > basics.txt 2>&1
# 2) Apt sources & pins
( set -x
grep -R ^deb /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d 2>/dev/null
echo "---- preferences & pins ----"
grep -R . /etc/apt/preferences /etc/apt/preferences.d 2>/dev/null || true
) > apt_sources_pins.txt 2>&1
# 3) Current nvidia/linux packages installed/available
( set -x
dpkg -l | grep -E 'nvidia|linux-(image|headers|modules|signatures)' || true
echo "---- holds ----"
apt-mark showhold || true
echo "---- policy (global priorities) ----"
apt-cache policy
) > packages_installed_policy.txt 2>&1
# 4) Specific package version availability (both the module & signatures)
PK_MOD="linux-modules-nvidia-550-$(uname -r)"
PK_SIG="linux-signatures-nvidia-$(uname -r)"
( set -x
echo "Querying: $PK_MOD and $PK_SIG"
apt-cache policy "$PK_MOD" "$PK_SIG"
apt-cache madison "$PK_MOD" "$PK_SIG"
dpkg -s "$PK_MOD" 2>/dev/null || true
dpkg -s "$PK_SIG" 2>/dev/null || true
) > package_versions.txt 2>&1
# 5) Resolver debug: simulate and show why it breaks

# 7) Recent apt logs
mkdir -p logs

# 8) Pack it up
cd ..
tar czf nvidia-apt-bugreport.tar.gz nvidia-apt-bugreport
