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.

Hello Erich, or anyone else affected,

Accepted nvidia-modprobe into hirsute-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-modprobe/465.24.02-1~ubuntu21.04.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-hirsute to verification-done-hirsute. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-hirsute. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.
