Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 18.04 with HWE
bumblebee 3.2.1-17

This makes laptops with hybrid graphics not work well.

===

bumblebee depends on a versioned xserver-xorg-core package

Depends: bbswitch-dkms | bbswitch-source, lsb-base (>= 3.0-6), xserver-
xorg-core (>= 2:1.18), libbsd0 (>= 0.2.0), libc6 (>= 2.15), libglib2.0-0
(>= 2.12.0), libkmod2 (>= 5~), libx11-6

===

HWE 18.04 uses a different package name for xserver-xorg-core ->
xserver-xorg-core-hwe-18.04

Provides: xorg-input-abi-24, xorg-renamed-package, xorg-renamed-package-
hwe-18.04, xorg-video-abi-24, xserver-xorg-core, xserver-xorg-video-
modesetting

===

apt/dpkg does not handle version depends on virtual/provide packages so
can't be installed.

===

So trying to install bumblebee while HWE is installed does not work:

# apt install bumblebee

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
