Failed installation of package breaks apt-get
I fix this issue only with:
sudo apt-get -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-overwrite" install --fix-broken
Similar to the command of StrugglingProgrammer, I had to make sure I would uninstall all cuda packages (the cuda-demo*, e.g.)
You can check which those might be with:
dpkg -l | grep -i cuda
dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia
So maybe try either
sudo apt-get remove --purge cuda-* libcuda* nvidia*
(for the whole batch) or select more specifically like:
sudo apt-get remove --purge cuda-drivers libcuda* cuda-runtime* cuda-8-0 cuda-demo*
For me specifially (after trying a failed install of cuda-8-0
and libcudnn6
) it was:
sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia* cuda-drivers libcuda* cuda-runtime* cuda-8-0 cuda-demo*
Hope that may be of help.
I resolved this by removing everything installed in a single apt-get remove
command:
sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia* cuda-drivers libcuda1-396 cuda-runtime-9-2 cuda-9.2 cuda-demo-suite-9-2 cuda
