   @Marco:   
   Originally had - to the best of my knowlege - vanilla 20.04.   
   Clicked on "Upgrade" and stood back. IIRC had to choose when installation   
   asked whether to update issue.net,   
   other than that nothing comes to mind.   
      
   @Mike Easter:   
   My original 20.04 had no mention of oracle IIRC.   
   To my best recollection, I have never installed anything related to Oracle (I   
   may of course be remembering wrong) and/or   
   nvidia   
      
   @Allodoxaphobia:   
   I ran "locate -i oracle" into a file.   
   It's almost 71,000 lines.

   There seems to be a mixture of versions.   
   Could it be because some versions ago I installed HWE?   
   has this happend to anyone else?   
      
   As before, all insights gratefully accepted
