After anaylzing nvidia-graphics-drivers yesterday, I'd suggest to EOL it: The driver version (418) in buster has been EOLed by nvidia in 02/2022. I've checked if it would make sense to update to 470 (EOL date 07/2024) but the 470 drivers introduces new libraries and also remove some others, I think this is not worth the effort. For nvidia-graphics-drivers-legacy-390xx, buster has actually not the latest 390 version, so I think it makes sense to do an (final) update here. (Though, I did not check yet if the new version has also some surprises ready) After that, the package should be also EOLed (nvidia support ended 12/2022)) -- tobi > Cheers, > Emilio
