Same issue is happening to me, although in my case it's happening on attempts to upgrade or remove rather than on initial install. Here's what happens (the .deb file in question is a security update that was obtained from the Ubuntu archives using apt and should be the latest version):
$ sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/nvidia-opencl-icd-340_340.98-0ubuntu0.16.04.1_i386.deb Selecting previously unselected package nvidia-opencl-icd-340:i386.

Errors were encountered while processing: nvidia-opencl-icd-340:i386 Incidentally, I have no idea why the package in question is on my system in the first place. It doesn't appear to be a dependency of anything (neither apt nor dpkg complains when I try to remove it), and I don't have an NVidia graphics card, so I'd have had no reason to install it manually. /var/lib/snapd/lib/gl (which seems to be relevant due to the "Unit var- lib-snapd-lib-gl.mount" message) exists, but is an empty directory. Nothing appears to be mounted there. ** Summary changed: - package nvidia-opencl-icd-340 340.96-0ubuntu3.16.04.1 failed to install + package nvidia-opencl-icd-340 340.96-0ubuntu3.16.04.1 cannot be installed, removed or upgraded -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-340 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1589472 Title: package nvidia-opencl-icd-340 340.96-0ubuntu3.16.04.1 cannot be installed, removed or upgraded Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-340 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Hi!
