<div>I have an old mythbuntu 12.04 system with an nvidia GT430

You must have a file named nvidia_driver_for_liveusb in your
directory, so nvidia* expanded to that. Normally autoremove does not
take a parameter and only removes unused packages.<br>

To find what package is available use <br>
apt-cache search nvidia<br>
To see what versions of a package are available use<br>
apt-cache showpkg nvidia-304<br>
When I run this on ubuntu 16.10 I only see one version listed:<br>
304.132-0ubuntu0.16.04.2 <br>
Ubuntu have removed all other versions from the repo.<br>
