Description:
CUDA requires minimum versions of the NVIDIA driver to be installed to function properly, e.g. 10.2.89 requires nvidia-utils >= 440.33 (per the website https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-toolkit-release-notes/index.html#cuda-major-component-versions). It would be nice if the cuda package dependencies were updated to reflect this, as users running older NVIDIA drivers can accidentally update CUDA to an unsupported version. Additional info: * package version(s) all |

Which cuda version is this about exactly? The only version of cuda
I expect problems with is the one in testing.
This would be for all versions of CUDA. One of my systems was
stuck on an earlier version of NVIDIA graphics drivers and a CUDA
update broke some of my software. I realize this isn't exactly a
supported use case, but seeing as NVIDIA says explicitly which
driver versions are supported I thought it would be helpful to add
that requirement to the package.
