Description

I am trying to install TensorRT (cuda11.4-trt8.2.0.6-ea-20210922) but I keep getting the error :

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
tensorrt : Depends: libnvinfer-samples (= 8.2.0-1+cuda11.4) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Could the cause be that I am Using CUDA version 11.5 and the TenosrRT is for 11.4?

Greetings and thanks in advance.

Hi,
Please refer to the installation steps from the below link if in case you are missing on anything

Also, we suggest you to use TRT NGC containers to avoid any system dependency related issues.

Thanks!

I had to install cuda 11.4 then it worked.

For this I followed CUDA Toolkit 11.4 Downloads but specified cuda 11.4 in the last command.

sudo apt-get -y install cuda-11.4

I have this problem for tensorrt 8.2.5-1 and cuda11.6

tensorrt : Depends: libnvinfer-samples (= 8.2.5-1+cuda11.4) but it is not going to be installed

It was solved by installing cuda 11.7 and tensorrt 8.4.1.5.
