From the attached DpkgHistoryLog.txt:

Start-Date: 2017-04-27 01:48:43
Commandline: apt-get install cuda

Start-Date: 2017-04-28 00:59:27
Commandline: apt install nvidia-cuda-toolkit

It seems that a cuda package from outside the archive was installed, and then nvidia-cuda-toolkit from the archive was installed. You probably want to completely remove cuda before installing nvidia-cuda-toolkit.
