This bug was fixed in the package nvidia-modprobe - 465.24.02-1 --------------- nvidia-modprobe (465.24.02-1) experimental; urgency=medium
* New upstream release. (Closes: #987744) -- Luca Boccassi <bl...@debian.org> Thu, 29 Apr 2021 11:48:45 +0100 ** Description changed: [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 AI learning customers, which are - target customers of the Kubuntu Focus laptops produced by - MindShareManagement + This is impacting data scientists and deep learning customers.
