If that directory and the alternative still exist, some packages from the current driver must still be installed. Or you found another bug. Please send the output of dpkg -l | grep nvidia dpkg -S /usr/lib/nvidia/current I suspect the nvidia-alternative package to be still installed (not the -legacy-340xx one, that of course needs to be there), but that shouldn't be possible after you purged nvidia-legacy-check.

Thanks - one more thing: on a reboot (yes, I should have checked this before filing an all-clear!) X didn't start but was fixed by `update-glx` (changing from 0 to 2): $ sudo update-glx --config nvidia There are 2 choices for the alternative nvidia (providing /usr/lib/nvidia/nvidia). SelectionPath Priority Status 0/usr/lib/nvidia/current384 auto mode 1/usr/lib/nvidia/current384 manual mode * 2/usr/lib/nvidia/legacy-340xx 340 manual mode /usr/lib/nvidia/current is an empty directory. -- John

I explicitly installed just nvidia-legacy-check, took the "yes" option, then purged it and ran full-upgrade again which this time ran normally. I checked and nvidia-driver was not installed ;-) Some, from my PoV, the problem has gone away.

Do you have an old version of nvidia-legacy-check installed? Remove it, you don't need it. Otherwise something seems to pull in the new driver ... the complete output from apt may be helpful to analyze this. > console messages after clicking "no" are: It's intentional to fail in this case.
