Source: nvidia-cuda-toolkit
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
I'm trying to enable GPU rendering for blender, I had it working few weeks ago
on a very similar, almost equal, system environment (Debian/unstable),
but it was on x86 arch and I had to switch to amd64, now can't get it working
anymore.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
* What was the outcome of this action?
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Being able to install nvidia-cuda-toolkit, it should enable GPU option in
blender
(User settings -> system -> Compute device)

Below the current installation error log, this morning I just upgraded because
have seen
there was some *nvidia* upgrade, before the upgrade I had a different error,
but always related to unmet dependencies for nvidia-cuda-dev
