So I am pretty new to Linux. I played around with installing CUDA libraries for some ML experiments on my linux system. However since a couple of weeks I have not been able to get updates to my system duo to some broken cuda packages?

My problem basically goes as follows:

sudo apt update

Get:1 file:/var/cuda-repo-ubuntu2204-11-8-local  InRelease [1.575 B]
Get:2 file:/var/cuda-repo-ubuntu2204-12-2-local  InRelease [1.572 B]

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.

Welcome to wonderful world of CUDA and NVIDIA :-)

Basically, you (most likely) are trying to update your CUDA installation and it's updates are incompatible with your installed NVIDIA drivers. This is most often caused by installing NVIDA drivers from your distribution and then installing CUDA via the NVIDIA developers CUDA Toolkit [https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-installation-guide-linux/index.html].

The solution(s) are either (a) wait for your distribution to update their driver packages so that the version numbers satisfy the CUDA update requirements OR (b) remove/purge the installed NVIDIA drivers and then install both NVIDIA drivers AND the CUDA from NVIDIA. The disadvantage of this second method is that there is often some special tweaks that the DISTRO maintainers do to the NVIDIA packages to mitigate any issues with their specific distribution.
