Package system is broken

[floater]

I tried to install JetPack 5.0.1 DP on Xavier NX, along with Deepstream, but got this when updating:

The package system is broken
Check if you are using third party repositories. If so disable them, since they are a common source of problems.
Furthermore run the following command in a Terminal: apt-get install -f
Transaction failed: The package system is broken

Help. What do I do?

Hi,

Could you try to install cuBLAS manually to see if it helps?
For example:

$ sudo apt install libcublas-11-4
$ sudo apt install cuda-toolkit-11-4
$ sudo apt install deepstream-6.1

Thanks.

No good. I get:

$ sudo apt install libcublas-11-4
Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information… Done
libcublas-11-4 is already the newest version (11.6.6.23-1).
libcublas-11-4 set to manually installed.
You might want to run ‘apt --fix-broken install’ to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
cuda-libraries-dev-11-4 : Depends: cuda-profiler-api-11-4 (>= 11.4.239) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try ‘apt --fix-broken install’ with no packages (or specify a solution).

I get similar messages for the other commands. If I try to fix the broken install, I get:

$ sudo apt --fix-broken install

Hi,

There is an issue in our apt server but is fixed already.
Could you try the command shared below to see if it works on your side?

Apt install cuda-profiler-api-11-4 failed

This is probably going to be resolved by someone who is in control of the .deb packages. However, I have found a solution. There was a similar issue on stack overflow for fixing an old cuda instillation on x86 I found a while back but lost the link :( Try this: sudo apt --fix-broken install -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-overwrite"

Thanks.

Thanks. That command seems to work.
