I’m receiving the following errors when trying to install drivers. Note: following suggestions elsewhere on this forum, I did a suggested purge – this is where the output starts – any assistance would be helpful.
My question how do I fix this?
Thanks.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libnvidia-ifr1-415 : Depends: libnvidia-gl-415 but it is not going to be installed
libnvidia-ifr1-415:i386 : Depends: libnvidia-gl-415:i386 but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
