# Analysis: currently running kernel is actually purged

I notice that I'm running

uname -a

Linux n551jk 4.4.0-7-generic #22-Ubuntu SMP Thu Feb 18 20:50:38 UTC 2016
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Which packages have been removed in between (several days ago).

# Summary

So, it looks like the problem is: installing nVidia driver seemed to
fail because running kernel has its packages purged.

# Is it a suitable reason for failure?

If driver requires a reboot to work, its install script should target
the kernel that will be booted, not the currently running kernel, right?

# Good practice?

I regularly do:

sudo apt-get update ; sudo aptitude upgrade

Is is okay or is that a cause of trouble?

Should I do something different?

Thank you for your attention.
