[Bug 1872551] [NEW] kubuntu-driver-manager: nvidia driver version switch fails

[Horst Schirmeier]

Public bug reported:

Switching the Nvidia driver version with kubuntu-driver-manager doesn't
work anymore: Selecting a different driver version (nvidia-driver-440
instead of the currently selected / installed -390) and clicking "Apply
Changes" has no effect and produces this error message in the terminal:

  Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/qt/SoftwarePropertiesQt.py", line 895, in on_driver_changes_apply
    for dep in get_dependencies(self.apt_cache, pkg.shortname, 'nvidia'):
NameError: name 'get_dependencies' is not defined

Steps to reproduce:
- sudo kubuntu-driver-manager
- Under "Additional Drivers", select a different Nvidia driver version
  (in my case: 440 instead of 390)
- Click "Apply Changes"
- (observe error message in the terminal)

Expected result:
- No error message
- Nvidia driver version 440 gets installed

Actual result:
- Error message
- No change in the installed Nvidia driver version
