The issue is that nvidia-settings-experimental-310 and nvidia-settings-
experimental-304 both provide the nvidia-settings program, however they
do not conflict with one another so dpkg tries to install them
concurrently.
As a workaround, you can remove one of these packages, then the install
of the other should complete.
The proper fix is for nvidia-settings-experimental-310 to
conflict/replace nvidia-settings-experimental-304, or perhaps do
something more generic using a conflicts/replaces/provides with a
virtual package.
** Summary changed:
- package nvidia-settings-experimental-310 (not installed) failed to
install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/nvidia-settings', which is also
in package nvidia-settings-updates 304.43-0ubuntu0.2
+ Transitioning from nvidia driver 304 to 310 results in install failure due to
conflicting nvidia-settings
** Also affects: nvidia-settings-experimental-304 (Ubuntu)
