package nvidia-352-dev 361.45.11-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 failed to install/upgrade: there is no script in the new version of the package - giving up

This occurred during the update from Lubuntu 16.04 to 16.10. There was a previous problem with this before but I thought it was solved. Previously when trying to update it gave an error something about a missing uninstall script.
