The reason is the nvidia-331.postrm script hasn't been updated to reflect that nvidia-persistenced is now started via udev rather than Upstart (the Upstart job has been removed). The offending lines in nvidia-331.postrm: # Remove the nvidia-persistenced user if id "$NVPD_USER" > /dev/null 2>&1; then stop nvidia-persistenced || true userdel "$NVPD_USER" fi When /usr/bin/nvidia-persistenced is running, `userdel "$NVPD_USER"` will cause the postrm script to exit with a non-zero status, leaving dpkg in a broken state. I believe the correct fix is: # Remove the nvidia-persistenced user if id "$NVPD_USER" > /dev/null 2>&1; then /usr/bin/stop-nvidia-persistenced userdel "$NVPD_USER" fi Or for extra safety, I like this fix even better: # Remove the nvidia-persistenced user if id "$NVPD_USER" > /dev/null 2>&1; then /usr/bin/stop-nvidia-persistenced || true userdel "$NVPD_USER" || true fi Although /usr/bin/stop-nvidia-persistenced will exit with 0 even if nvidia-persistenced wasn't running, I don't see any reason to risk a broken dpkg state when there were problems stopping nvidia- persistenced, or problems removing its user. Same problem exists with nvidia-graphics-drivers-331-updates.
