Problem: 1: the installed nvidia-common-G07-595.80-7.1.x86_64 requires '(nvidia-open-driver-G07-signed-kmp = 595.80 if nvidia-open-driver-G07-signed-kmp-meta)', but this requirement cannot be provided
deleted providers: nvidia-open-driver-G07-signed-kmp-default-595.80_k7.0.12_1-2.4.x86_64

 Solution 1: Following actions will be done:
  deinstallation of nvidia-common-G07-595.80-7.1.x86_64
  deinstallation of nvidia-compute-G07-595.80-7.1.x86_64
  deinstallation of nvidia-video-G07-595.80-7.1.x86_64
  deinstallation of nvidia-compute-G07-32bit-595.80-7.1.x86_64
  deinstallation of nvidia-compute-utils-G07-595.80-7.1.x86_64
  deinstallation of nvidia-video-G07-32bit-595.80-7.1.x86_64
  deinstallation of nvidia-userspace-meta-G07-595.80-19.1.x86_64
 Solution 2: deinstallation of nvidia-open-driver-G07-signed-kmp-meta-595.71.05-19.1.x86_64
 Solution 3: keep obsolete nvidia-open-driver-G07-signed-kmp-default-595.80_k7.0.12_1-2.4.x86_64
 Solution 4: break nvidia-common-G07-595.80-7.1.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies

I was affected from this bug, during which I had completely uninstalled the nividia drivers using these instructions. Afterwards I installed the G07 drivers (I had been on G06 before), and everything looks fine as far I I can tell.

I don’t really understand why I am having problems again :frowning:

I see nvidia-open-driver-G07-signed-kmp-default | package | 595.80_k7.0.12_1-2.4 | x86_64 is a (System Packages)…

And there is a new version… nvidia-open-driver-G07-signed-kmp-default | package | 595.84_k7.0.12_1-1.1

This equates to repositories oss and nvidia along with meta data out of sync…

Thank you. The nvidia-repo had auto-refresh not enabled, I forgot about that again.

However, I am wondering why autorefresh is disabled by default. Is there a common usecase for a non-refreshing repository?
