Nvidia-docker: Cannot install nvidia-docker2 on xenial with latest official docker release (17.12)

1. Issue or feature description

I just tried installing nvidia-docker2, but it failed with this error:

$ sudo apt-get install -y nvidia-docker2

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:
 nvidia-docker2 : Depends: docker-ce (= 17.09.1~ce-0~ubuntu) but 17.12.0~ce-0~ubuntu is to be installed or
                           docker-ee (= 17.09.1~ee-0~ubuntu) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

As it turns out, I have version 17.12 of docker-ce:

$ docker --version
Docker version 17.12.0-ce, build c97c6d6
$ apt list docker-ce -a

docker-ce/xenial 17.03.1~ce-0~ubuntu-xenial amd64
docker-ce/xenial 17.03.0~ce-0~ubuntu-xenial amd64

Version 17.12 was released yesterday via the official docker apt repository. I totally understand you need some time to check and release v17.12 compatibility. Just wanted to give you a heads up ;)

2. Steps to reproduce the issue

Just pick a 16.04 Ubuntu system, install latest docker, then install latest nvidia-docker2.

Sorry about that, Docker released docker-ce 17.12 yesterday and I didn't have time to push new packages. I should be able to do that today.

@flx42 That would be really great :) I'm going to test it under Ubuntu 17.10 then, and hopefully it will run.

@flx42 Same issue for Centos

I just published packages for CentOS 7 and Ubuntu Xenial. Please do sudo apt-get update or sudo yum makecache fast.
Not for Debian Stretch yet, their official repo is broken:

The Debian Stretch issue seems to be solved. All new packages have been released, closing.
