Ubuntu install broken by 3.8.1 release

[Haydn Vestal]

`apt install arrayfire` now fails with:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 arrayfire : Depends: arrayfire-cuda3-dev
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

This is from a Docker image without a GPU or CUDA driver but I assume the same failure will happen even with the CUDA driver because arrayfire-cuda-3-dev depends on "arrayfire-cuda3-cuda-<version>" and there are no such packages in the Ubuntu or ArrayFire repos. Is it possible to roll back the arrayfire package version to 3.8.0 until this dependency issue is fixed?

Thanks,
Haydn

Hi Haydn,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I was able to reproduce what you are running into. For now I suggest you download the arrayfire-opencl3-dev and arrayfire-cpu3-dev packages directly OR add the CUDA repositories using the following steps:

wget https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu1804/x86_64/cuda-ubuntu1804.pin
mv cuda-ubuntu1804.pin /etc/apt/preferences.d/cuda-repository-pin-600
apt-key adv --fetch-keys https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu1804/x86_64/7fa2af80.pub
add-apt-repository "deb https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu1804/x86_64/ /"
apt update -y

You should be able to install the cuda library after you run the previous commands.

I have updated the arrayfire debian package. The arrayfire-cuda3-dev package is now recommended by the arrayfire package and will only install if you also add the cuda debian repository in the previous steps.
