Ubuntu 14.04 : Installing cuda 7

Question

I am following the procedure given here :
http://www.r-tutor.com/gpu-computing/cuda-installation/cuda6.5-ubuntu

However, after I do sudo apt-get install cuda I get the following message:

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
cuda-drivers : Depends: nvidia-opencl-icd-346 (>= 346.46) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

After I enter sudo apt-get -f install I get the following message:

Preparing to unpack .../nvidia-opencl-icd-346_346.46-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb ...
Unpacking nvidia-opencl-icd-346 (346.46-0ubuntu1) ...

ask to remove the package.

How to do this ?

p.s. sudo apt-get install cuda-runtime-7-0 gives the same error.

Solution 1

I managed to get it working after running the following commands:

sudo apt-get clean  
sudo apt-get autoclean  
sudo apt-get autoremove  
sudo apt-get install -f  

Solution 2

I was able to get rid of this error by first searching for the nvidia-opencl-icd-* files with the following command:

sudo find / -name nvidia-opencl-icd-\*

Then I removed all the files with the following prefix

nvidia-opencl-icd-\*

and then ran:

sudo apt-get -f install
