Public bug reported:
[Impact]
The latest nvidia-driver-590, nvidia-driver-590-server, nvidia-
driver-590-open, and nvidia-driver-590-server-open packages in Resolute,
Questing, Noble, and Jammy declare themselves as the Long Term Support
Branch, when 590 is actually a New Feature Branch.
This XB-Support field is used by ubuntu-drivers-common to determine
which driver branch to recommend.
[Fix]
Adjust the XB-Support control field for 590 meta packages to indicate
590 is a New Feature Branch instead of a Long Term Support Branch.
[Test Case]
1. Install ubuntu-drivers-common
2. Enable a PPA (or -proposed) with the updated 590 driver packages on an
affected system with an NVIDIA GPU.
3. Invoke `$ sudo ubuntu-drivers install`.
4. Verify that the 580 driver is selected, and not the 590 driver.
[Regression Potential]
The fix is limited to changing a single field `XB-Support` in the meta
package control. If this change goes wrong, it has the potential to
change the behavior of ubuntu-drivers-common, which depends on this
field, in unanticipated ways.
