[Bug 1874310] Re: downloading and installing updates may result in stray packages installed

[Balint Reczey]

@xnox I've verified the issue on real HW, but not an OEM certified one. You mentioned that both having and nvidia card and being oem certified can be emulated in qemu. Could you please give some pointers about that?
I've found LP: #1882795 which suggests that this testing method is incomplete yet.

Bug description:
  downloading and installing updates may result in stray packages
  installed

  
  I am on OEM certified machine with nvidia graphics driver card.

  I chose to use nonfree & download/install updates.

  in target i ended up with manual linux-modules-nvidia-440-generic-hwe-20.04 package
  and automatically installed linux-image-5.4.0-26-generic linux-modules-5.4.0-26-generic linux-modules-nvidia-440-5.4.0-26-generic.

  Which is ok, they are extra.

  It sounds like we are installing downloaded updates, rather than
  attempting a new dist-upgrade in target with cached downloads.
