After adding in "IgnoreABI" to "/etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia" I now receive the following error and it doesn't load:
(WW) NVIDIA: The driver will continue to load, but may behave strangely.
(WW) NVIDIA: This driver was compiled against the X.Org server SDK from commit 4c00369024c9754e670fca37804711fef2980e2f and may not be compatible with the final version of this SDK.
UPDATE <SOLVED> I've figured out my issue and posting it in case anyone else runs into the same problem.
Prior to the recent updates, I never needed to modify the "/etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia" file and it worked just fine OOTB. Now after the recent updates, I had to modify that file to now also include the BusID of the nvidia card. Details found here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Bumblebee#Multiple_NVIDIA_Graphics_Cards_or_NVIDIA_Optimus
So after adding in the BusID (along with the "IgnoreABI" setting), it is working again.

Please don't flag this package out-of-date unless a new version has been released by NVIDIA.

The DKMS package guidelines are explicit that
linux-headers
should not be a dependency of any DKMS package.As a concrete example of why including that as a hard dependency is a bad idea, what happens when
linux
is not an installed kernel?
