Package: nvidia-driver
Version: 340.65-2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
After a fresh install and one iteration of update/upgrade of jessie amd64
yesterday, when running apt-get install nvidia-driver, I get the following
error:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
I checked for held packages, but don't see any. The folks on the freenode
debian channel suggested enabling multiarch, since no amd64 candidate for
libgl1-nvidia-glx-i386 could be found, but when trying that, I get a different
error about dependencies on virtual packages.
My guess is that I'm going about installing the package in the wrong way, but
the most recent information I could find on the wiki indicated that installing
nvidia-driver was the right thing to do.
I tried reinstalling the box from scratch thinking I might have botched
something in the install, but see the same behavior afterwards.
Thanks in advance, and I'm happy to do any troubleshooting you need!
Here are some apt-cache policy snippets after removing i386 multiarch
