[Launchpad Bug Tracker <1871268@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

[Impact]
Installations that really succeeded would then fail because APT could not immediately configure a package. Which is a pointless way to fail at that point, because everything did work out anyway.

So what we do is change that to a warning.

[Test case]
Not available right now. Issues can flare up and then disappear again.

[Regression potential]
It's imaginable that we missed something somewhere and some path that checked for a set error doesn't check it anymore, and we report success when we hit an error, but it seems unlikely.

Behavior of --simulate changes. This used to fail before as well, and
will now only produce a warning. We don't believe that is a reason of
concern.

[Groovy SRU]
The groovy SRU is a sync of the 2.1.11 micro release from Debian unstable which also incorporates changes to the documentation: A typo fix, replacing focal with groovy in examples, and minor Dutch manual pages translation updates.

We do not have test cases for the documentation changes, and we do not
consider there to be a huge regression potential. As long as they build,
they should be readable - maybe some words are wrong in the translation,
who knows.

[Original bug report]
Test Case
1. Install Ubuntu Desktop on hardware with an nVidia card and select to install 3rd party drivers
2. Proceed with installation
