1. Issue or feature description

Using latest instructions for latest version (changes in https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-docker/commit/7f67577c89f081dfbe481a22a8d1dea61c46cde6), apt-get install cannot find the package nvidia-container-toolkit.

E: Unable to locate package nvidia-container-toolkit

Using same repo but previous version (2.1.0-1 for Ubuntu) and referencing previous versions of README.md, I run sudo apt-get install -y nvidia-docker2 and install successfully. sudo docker run --runtime=nvidia --rm nvidia/cuda:9.0-base nvidia-smi also runs fine.

2. Steps to reproduce the issue

Follow newest instructions (on Ubuntu 18.04 or Mint): install Docker 19.03.0, add NVIDIA Docker keys and repos, update repos and run the install command.

3. Information to attach (optional if deemed irrelevant)

NVIDIA repo:

$ cat nvidia-docker.list 
deb https://nvidia.github.io/libnvidia-container/ubuntu18.04/$(ARCH) /
deb https://nvidia.github.io/nvidia-container-runtime/ubuntu18.04/$(ARCH) /

OS:

 Kernel Version: 4.15.0-54-lowlatency
 Operating System: Linux Mint 19.2
 OSType: linux
 Architecture: x86_64

Older package installs and runs fine on the same system:

Fixed, sorry about that, I updated the docs a bit too early.

I also have the same problem on Ubuntu 18.04, CUDA 10.2:
$sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y nvidia-container-toolkit

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
nvidia-container-toolkit : Depends: libnvidia-container-tools (>= 0.1.0) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libnvidia-container-tools (< 2.0.0) but it is not going to be installed
nvidia-cuda-toolkit : Depends: nvidia-cuda-dev (= 9.1.85-3ubuntu1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
