Problem Description
I have ubuntu 18.04, and accidentally installed cuda 9.1 to run Tensorflow-gpu, but it seems tensorflow-gpu requires cuda 10.0, so I want to remove cuda first by executing: martin@nlp-server:~$ sudo apt-get remove --auto-remove nvidia-cuda-toolkit Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these. The following packages have unmet dependencies: cuda-libraries-dev-10-1 : Depends: libcublas-dev (>= 10.2.0.168) but 10.1.0.105-1 is to be installed cuda-samples-10-1 : Depends: libcublas-dev (>= 10.2.0.168) but 10.1.0.105-1 is to be installed cuda-visual-tools-10-1 : Depends: libcublas-dev (>= 10.2.0.168) but 10.1.0.105-1 is to be installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution). Then I tried to run 'apt --fix-broken install', but got the following error: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Correcting dependencies...
