Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Since this bug prevents the package (or a dependent one) from functioning correctly at all, it has a priority of "high".

[Egor Nikulenkov (enikulenkov)]

The workaround is to remove nvidia-libopencl1-331-updates package before installing nvidia-opencl-dev. At least nvidia-opencl-dev package is installed successfully.

Hi,
This is what you do.

sudo apt-get remove nvidia-cuda-toolkit nvidia-opencl-dev

then,

sudo apt-get remove nvidia-331

then,

sudo apt-get install nvidia-cuda-toolkit nvidia-opencl-dev

then,

sudo apt-get install nvidia-331

The issue here is the clash between the shared library libOpenCL.so from NVIDIA-Driver and the NVIDIA-Cuda-Toolkit.

[david leo (i3l1nd3d)]

Actually I did manage to install nvidia-cuda-toolkit

I ended up removing nvidia-libopencl1-304 after trying the above solution

then

sudo apt-get install nvidia-libopencl-dev

then

sudo apt-get install nvidia-cuda-toolkit

I'm not able to install nvidia-331-updates after that though.

Guess I'll have to settle for the nvidia-304 driver.

Thanks.
