Nvidia-docker: Ubuntu 16.04 docker-ce dependency mismatch

[justinbowes]

1. Issue or feature description

Docker just pushed a new version. New installs of nvidia-docker fail due to a dependency version mismatch.

2. Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Install docker-ce per documentation
2. Install nvidia-docker per documentation
3. Note error message

 The following packages have unmet dependencies:
    nvidia-docker2 : Depends: docker-ce (= 5:18.09.2~3-0~ubuntu-xenial) but 5:18.09.3~3-0~ubuntu-xenial is to be installed

same with centos...

Error message:

Error: Package: nvidia-docker2-2.0.3-1.docker18.09.2.ce.noarch (nvidia-docker)
           Requires: docker-ce = 3:18.09.2
           Installed: 3:docker-ce-18.09.3-3.el7.x86_64 (@docker-ce-stable)
               docker-ce = 3:18.09.3-3.el7

me too...
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
nvidia-docker2 : Depends: docker-ce (= 5:18.09.2~3-0~ubuntu-xenial) but 5:18.09.3~3-0~ubuntu-xenial is to be installed or
docker-ee (= 5:18.09.2~3-0~ubuntu-xenial) but it is not installable

Until NVIDIA solves this you can install a previous version of docker. In Ubuntu you can list available versions with

apt-cache madison docker-ce

then install a specific version with

sudo apt-get install docker-ce=<VERSION_STRING> docker-ce-cli=<VERSION_STRING> containerd.io

For me, the following version worked on ubuntu 16:

sudo apt-get install docker-ce=5:18.09.2~3-0~ubuntu-xenial docker-ce-cli=5:18.09.2~3-0~ubuntu-xenial containerd.io

Same on Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS

nvidia-docker2 : Depends: docker-ce (= 5:18.09.2~3-0~ubuntu-bionic) but 5:18.09.3~3-0~ubuntu-bionic is to be installed

Same here on Linux Mint 19.1, Ubuntu 18.04 base: there's a version mismatch in the dependency: latest docker-ce is on minor version 5:18.09.3~3-0~ubuntu-bionic vs. nvidia-docker required 5:18.09.2~3-0~ubuntu-bionic

Maybe it's a good idea to not specify minor versions as dependencies and only major ones?
