And on the suggestion to switch over to libgldispatch0-nvidia, no installation candidate is found.

no installation candidate is found.
Have you used `apt update` before trying to install the package?
I've linked the package page in my last post so it should be there.
Anyway, we have other problems here:
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required
This indicates that you have an issue with your metapackages, see this thread for more, it is rather complicated to explain:

As I said, my choice would be aptitude's door number five but I wouldn't risk it without a sacrificial snapshot to experiment on.
EDIT: isn't Debian testing fun?

I see the package in stretch, but not in buster, and had performed an apt update, just tried again and confirmed.
https://packages.debian.org/stretch/lib … ch0-nvidia
I'll have a read of the link tomorrow. Will also check if aptitude is now producing different options, I suspect not.

After reading through the meta package guide, I ran a trial run of aptitude install -s, which would show packages being removed etc, this suggested the removal of a small number of packages, replacing them with a small number of packages to be installed. Log summary below. Have rebooted and system is still running Nvidia drivers and seems ok.
