After upgrading nvidia-455.38-7 and nvidia-utils-455.38-1 to nvidia-455.45.01-2 and nvidia-utils-455.45.01-1 i can't open blender.

When running blender from the command line it says:
Error! Unsupported graphics card or driver.
A graphics card and driver with support for OpenGL 3.3 or higher is required.
The program will now close.

After downgrading to nvidia-455.38-7 and nvidia-utils-455.38-1 blender works fine.

Additional information:
Graphics card: GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER

Steps to reproduce:
Open blender-17:2.91.0-1 from the command line.

The module has to match the kernel, and the utils have to match the module. I'm assuming you just haven't booted the new kernel?

You're right - after booting the new kernel it works fine - I didn't think of that!
