Bug description:
[Impact]
Users of the Nvidia CUDA libraries using Hirsute, Groovy, or Focal are
unable to install and/or upgrade to version 460.73 of the CUDA
libraries. This is because the new libraries have a versioned hard
dependency on nvidia-modprobe >= 460.73 and nvidia-settings >= 460.73.
This is impacting data scientists and deep learning customers.
[Test Case]
* Add the Nvidia CUDA repositories below:
echo 'deb
http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu1804/x86_64 /
deb
http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/machine-learning/repos/ubuntu1804/x86_64
/
' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nvidia-cuda.list
sudo apt-get update
* Ensure nvidia and libnvidia files come from the Ubuntu repository:
echo 'Package: nvidia-* libnvidia-* xserver-xorg-*
Pin: release l=NVIDIA CUDA
Pin-Priority: -1' |sudo tee /etc/apt/preferences.d/nvidia-libs.conf
sudo apt-get update
* Install nvidia-driver-460 from the Ubuntu repository:
sudo apt-get install nvidia-driver-460
* Confirm that almost all Nvidia driver packages are set to the same
version (460.73.01) except for nvidia-settings and nvidia-modprobe:
dpkg --list |grep nvidia |grep ^ii |awk '{print $3"\t" $2}' |sort -n
* Attempt to install the CUDA package from Nvidia
sudo apt-get install cuda-drivers-460
* The drivers will not install due to a version mismatch as show
below:
sudo apt-get install cuda-drivers-460
...
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
cuda-drivers-460
Depends: nvidia-modprobe (>= 460.73.01) but 460.32.03-0ubuntu20.04.1 is to be
installed
Depends: nvidia-settings (>= 460.73.01) but 460.39-0ubuntu0.20.04.1 is to be
installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
[Where problems could occur]
* This may potentially cause issues with older versions of the Nvidia
driver, but this is low since this is for users of the 460 drivers.
[Other Information]
Can nvidia-modprobe and nvidia-settings be synchronized to match the
other versions provided in this and all future nvidia-drivers-*
metapackages? This should resolve the issue forever going forward.
