Unable to install CUDA in ubuntu docker container

[Dadiao-shuai]

When I use the latest ubuntu22.04/20.04 docker images to create containers, there is always problem to install cuda11.8 which is compatible for my NVIDIA driver 520.61.05.

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 cuda : Depends: cuda-12-2 (>= 12.2.2) but it is not going to be installed
 cuda-drivers-520 : Depends: libnvidia-compute-520 (>= 520.61.05) but it is not going to be installed

E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

BUT WHEN I TRY 'apt --fix-broken install':

I had a similar experience when I tried to install the latest Ubuntu on the Hyper V machine, I noticed from the installation that there was no sound, I finally decided to move to another machine which works perfectly fine, it is possible this installation doesn't work on the particular machine you are using, always seek alternatives, my 2 cents
