Public bug reported:
Ubuntu 18.04 with HWE
bumblebee 3.2.1-17
This makes laptops with hybrid graphics not work well.
===
bumblebee depends on a versioned xserver-xorg-core package
Depends: bbswitch-dkms | bbswitch-source, lsb-base (>= 3.0-6), xserver-
xorg-core (>= 2:1.18), libbsd0 (>= 0.2.0), libc6 (>= 2.15), libglib2.0-0
(>= 2.12.0), libkmod2 (>= 5~), libx11-6
===
HWE 18.04 uses a different package name for xserver-xorg-core ->
xserver-xorg-core-hwe-18.04
Provides: xorg-input-abi-24, xorg-renamed-package, xorg-renamed-package-
hwe-18.04, xorg-video-abi-24, xserver-xorg-core, xserver-xorg-video-
modesetting
===
apt/dpkg does not handle version depends on virtual/provide packages so
can't be installed.
===
So trying to install bumblebee while HWE is installed does not work:
# apt install bumblebee
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
