Nvidia-docker: Package sysv-rc is not installed.

[AwokeKnowing]

I just set up fresh install of ubuntu 17. nvidia driver is 375. I followed official steps for setting up docker-ce
now I'm following official steps for installing nvidia-docker but I get:

sudo dpkg -i /tmp/nvidia-docker*.deb && rm /tmp/nvidia-docker*.deb

Note, I was able to fix it after installing nvidia modprobe and then installing a .deb that sombody built for yakkety
https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-docker/issues/234

supposedly all they did was change ubuntu14.04 to 16.10 and rebuild and make the deb. I used that one (at least 8 people upvoted it) and it worked. Sounds like the deb needs to be updated.

Doing that would cause the deb to no longer work for 14.04 IIRC. So we would need to provide 2 sets of debs. Since we want to release nvidia-docker 2.0 soon, I don't think we will release a special deb for ubuntu 17.04.

The exact same issue occurs on 17.10 with nvidia 384. Any idea how to work around this or is there a fix in the works?
