I think it's the PPC CUDA packages. Given there are no ppc64el builds of
the new versions (no upstream releases), migrating would break the
ppc64el libcuinj64-7.5 nvidia-cuda-dev nvidia-cuda-toolkit
nvidia-profiler nvidia-visual-profiler packages since libcuda1 would no
longer be available.

trying: nvidia-graphics-drivers
skipped: nvidia-graphics-drivers (0, 44, 16)
    got: 62+941: a-3:i-18:a-0:a-0:a-0:m-0:m-0:p-35:p-5:s-1:m-941
    * ppc64el: libcuinj64-7.5, nvidia-cuda-dev, nvidia-cuda-toolkit,
nvidia-profiler, nvidia-visual-profiler

What do we do about this? Do we want to remove the ppc64 CUDA until
upstream releases a new version of the drivers?

Kind regards,
