Package: nvidia-kernel-support
Version: 430.64-4
Severity: normal

/etc/nvidia/current/nvidia-modprobe.conf contains the lines below with
'install' or 'remove' commands in modprobe.d files. According to kmod
developers, these are long obsolete and should be replaced by 'softdep'
commands. I'd be happy to offer a patch if the VCS links worked.

install nvidia modprobe -i nvidia-current $CMDLINE_OPTS

install nvidia-modeset modprobe nvidia ; modprobe -i nvidia-current-modeset $CMDLINE_OPTS

install nvidia-drm modprobe nvidia-modeset ; modprobe -i nvidia-current-drm $CMDLINE_OPTS

install nvidia-uvm modprobe nvidia ; modprobe -i nvidia-current-uvm $CMDLINE_OPTS

remove nvidia modprobe -r -i nvidia-drm nvidia-modeset nvidia-uvm nvidia

remove nvidia-modeset modprobe -r -i nvidia-drm nvidia-modeset
