Ubuntu 20.04 libnvdia driver packages keep getting kept back

gt flag

This issue keeps coming up on my Ubuntu 20.04. Almost every time an update is being done Ubuntu boots with low resolution and then I find that the nvidia drivers are being kept back. This is the latest:

    The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  linux-headers-5.11.0-37-generic
  linux-hwe-5.11-headers-5.11.0-37
  linux-image-5.11.0-37-generic
  linux-modules-5.11.0-37-generic
  linux-modules-extra-5.11.0-37-generic
  linux-objects-nvidia-470-5.11.0-37-generic
  linux-signatures-nvidia-5.11.0-37-generic
Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  linux-objects-nvidia-470-5.11.0-40-generic
  linux-signatures-nvidia-5.11.0-40-generic
The following packages have been kept back:
  libnvidia-cfg1-470 libnvidia-compute-470
  libnvidia-compute-470:i386 libnvidia-decode-470
  libnvidia-decode-470:i386 libnvidia-encode-470
  libnvidia-encode-470:i386 libnvidia-extra-470
  libnvidia-fbc1-470 libnvidia-fbc1-470:i386
  libnvidia-gl-470 libnvidia-gl-470:i386
  libnvidia-ifr1-470 libnvidia-ifr1-470:i386
  linux-modules-nvidia-470-generic-hwe-20.04
  nvidia-compute-utils-470 nvidia-driver-470
  nvidia-kernel-common-470
  nvidia-kernel-source-470 nvidia-utils-470
  xserver-xorg-video-nvidia-470

Does anybody know how to prevent this from happening again? I am using the Nvidia proprietary drivers metapackage.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
