Comment # 2 on bug 1224773 from Richard Brown
Not an Aeon specific bug, nor a package in any Aeon-supported/maintained repo

Looks to me that the packaging of the NVIDIA package is wrong

/var/ should be avoided when packaging for any transactional distribution (ie
Aeon, MicroOS, SLE Micro, etc)

because the whole premise is that such systems don't change during runtime,
whereas the whole premise of /var is for data that needs to change at runtime

This is why transactonal-update doesn't mount var during the update, hence the
observation in Comment #1

/usr/share/$FOO seems like a more natural and correct location for NVIDIA's
public keys, as I assume they're not meant to change at runtime.

Assigning to the appropriate category and a commnuity packager who may be
willing to help
