I'm having a problem after trying to upgrade. The message shown is:

cuda-drivers-535 : Depends: nvidia-kernel-common-535 (>= 535.54.03) but it is not installed
nvidia-dkms-535 : Depends: nvidia-kernel-common-535 (= 535.54.03-0ubuntu1) but it is not installed
Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

Something like this happened to me in Ubuntu 22.04 after a routine normal update. I was able to resolve it like instructed at this question.

First:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

Second:

sudo apt --fix-broken install

Just in case there are broken packages (half-installed).

Third:

sudo apt-get --with-new-pkgs upgrade <list of packages held back>

In my case they where:

libnvidia-cfg1-535 libnvidia-common-535 libnvidia-compute-535 libnvidia-compute-535:i386 libnvidia-decode-535 libnvidia-decode-535:i386 libnvidia-encode-535 libnvidia-encode-535:i386  libnvidia-extra-535 libnvidia-fbc1-535 libnvidia-fbc1-535:i386 libnvidia-gl-535 libnvidia-gl-535:i386 nvidia-compute-utils-535 nvidia-dkms-535 nvidia-driver-530 nvidia-driver-535  nvidia-kernel-common-535 nvidia-kernel-source-535 nvidia-utils-535 xserver-xorg-video-nvidia-535

But they can be different depending on your configuration so just copy them from the result of apt upgrade. But remember to remove the new line characters.

And finally:

sudo apt autoremove

In case there are packages not needed anymore.

I hope this helps more people. The question is poorly asked but it is one of the first results in search engines.
