Public bug reported:
Some time ago the original 550 version of nvidia driver which was shipped with
Kubuntu 24.04 was upgraded to version 580. After that I removed
nvidia-driver-550 metapackage completely, no packages were left from it.
Still every time I update nvidia 580 video drivers I receive this message when
libnvidia-gl-580 is being unpacked:
dpkg-query: no packages found matching libnvidia-gl-550
I downloaded libnvidia-gl-580 package and found out that its preinst script
still contains references to obsolete libnvidia-gl-550 version. And when it
performs dpkg-query, it checks for outdated 550 version, while it should query
for 580 version:
package_name=libnvidia-gl-550
this_version=`dpkg-query -W -f='${Version}' $package_name | cut -d\: -f2
This code produces the warning I mentioned above.
I suppose, it should be updated to match current version of the driver.
