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.

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.
