Hi I am facing a similiar issue with a different version mix:

sudo apt-get install libcudnn8=8.4.0.27-1+cuda11.1
Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information… Done
E: Version ‘8.4.0.27-1+cuda11.1’ for ‘libcudnn8’ was not found

and I did follow steps 2, 3 and 4.

Same issue.

$ sudo apt-get install libcudnn8=8.4.0.27-1+cuda11.2
Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree… Done
Reading state information… Done
E: Unable to locate package libcudnn8

One of our testers was able to reproduce the same error if they skipped step 4 in the instructions:

Please do this command:
sudo apt-get update
Before the install, and let us know if it works.
Thanks

*I already did
$ sudo apt-get update
, it just wont work.

In the end I went to the cudnn archive and download older version

Same problem, version 8.3.2.44 is working … 8.4.0.27-1 is not

This might do the job.
After step -
sudo apt-key add /var/cudnn-local-repo-*/7fa2af80.pub
You will have the directory /var/cudnn-local-repo-ubuntu2004-8.4.0.27 (with your ubuntu version and cudnn downloaded)
Inside this directory, you will be having three .deb files.
just do for all the deb files-
sudo gdebi xxx.deb
which will install cudnn. ;)

@dishant.daredevil yours is the working solution for me for installing on ubuntu20 .

Hello
Try running the command as
sudo apt-get install libcudnn8

i.e., without writing ‘=8.x.x.x-1+cudaX.Y’ this part.

For 8.4.0.27, the cuda version expected is 11.6 even for my system with cuda 11.5
Therefore run the install command with cuda11.6 at the end

You need to update the public key for the repo and apt-update again.

If you browse to the distro (Index of /compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu2004/x86_64 in my case), you can see what it is looking for in the list of links. For instance:
libcudnn8_8.4.1.50-1+cuda11.6_amd64.deb
libcudnn8_8.4.0.27-1+cuda11.6_amd64.deb

Hope this helps someone

I was trying to install cudnn 8.4.1.50 on Ubutu20.04 with Cuda Toolkit 11.7, but there does not seem to be a version for 11.7 yet.

Even I had similar issues.

Checked naming conventions of deb files in /var/cudnn-local-xx and used the same in apt-get install,

sudo apt-get install libcudnn8=8.6.0.163-1+cuda11.8

it worked !!

That’s the deal. It’s common mistake to confuse the versions of both the cuda version installed on computer and the libcudnn name (which refers to the most recent relead of cuda).

One should look into var/cudnn-local-xx folder for the names of the deb to use.
