I'm trying to install a library required by nvidia TensorRt. The name of the library is python3-libnvinfer

beefshepherd · 08-21-2019, 01:11 PM

I get the following errors when I'm trying to install the above mentioned package.

Code:

sudo apt-get install python3-libnvinfer-dev
    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
    or been moved out of Incoming.
    The following information may help to resolve the situation:

    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
     python3-libnvinfer-dev : Depends: python3-libnvinfer (>= 4.1.2) but it is not going to be           installed
    E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

So tried to install python3-libnvinger. And it resulted in this.

Code:

sudo apt-get install python3-libnvinfer
    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
    or been moved out of Incoming.
    The following information may help to resolve the situation:

    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
     python3-libnvinfer : Depends: python3 (< 3.6) but 3.6.7-1~18.04 is to be installed
    E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

At this point I try installing python 3.5.7 and set it as my default python using update-alternatives command. Then aliased python3 to be python 3.5.7.

But the issue still persists. I'm planning to scrape/purge python3.6.8 and I don't know if it's a wise move as I've read some display managers use python and I'm not sure if it'll break anything. How should I go about this, Thanks.

I've also successfully TensorRt according to

Code:

dpkg -s TensorRt | grep Success

Hi,

what OS are you running and what apt sources do you have configured? If you have inxi installed, the output of the following command will provide that information:

Code:

inxi -Sr

I'm running an ubuntu spinoff, which is using ubuntu 18.04. I've added the following apt sources for instalhttps://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-upgrading-ubuntu-desktophttps://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-upgrading-ubuntu-desktopling the Nvidia cuda and TensoRrt

Code:

 sudo dpkg -i nv-tensorrt-repo-ubuntu1604-cuda9.2-ga-trt4.0.1.6-20180612_1-1_amd64.deb 
 sudo dpkg -i cuda-repo-ubuntu1710-9-2-local_9.2.148-1_amd64.deb

Hi,

can you fix those URLs please, and post exactly what sources you have configured.
Also, what instructions/documentation are did you follow to lead you to add the additional sources?

Hey, here you go, these were the sources that I used.

CUDA installation guide

CUDA DOWNLOAD

I used the above link for my Ubuntu 18.04 machine. It says that it was for Ubuntu 17 but I got the CUDA up and running

TensorRt installation guide

TensorRt 4.2 download

And they've listed it to be for 16.04 but again TensorRt was successfully installed. And I'm stuck at installation of python3-libnvinfer-dev which has a dependency on python3-libnvinfer which again has a dependency on python version <3.6 .

I've made python 3.5 as my default python version using update alternatives. Also tried linking python3 to be /usr/bin/python3.5.

Hi,

it looks like the problem is that you are trying to install packages for older versions of Ubuntu. Why don't you use packages for 18.04? What is the output of the following commands:

Code:

apt-cache policy python3-libnvinfer-dev python3-libnvinfer
apt-cache show python3-libnvinfer-dev python3-libnvinfer
dpkg --audit

?

Hi,

so it does look like you are trying to install packages for an older version of Ubuntu, presumably from a repo that you added following
https://docs.nvidia.com/deeplearning...ide/index.html
Can you not use repos for Ubuntu 18.04?

The pain is I need to set up those exact version of cuda and and Tensorrt, else I need to scrape the os and change to that version to set it up.

If you really do need those old versions then it is probably easiest to use an older OS.
