@junwang-wish could you list which versions of the nvidia-docker2 package are available? (sudo apt list -a)

You could also try the following:

sudo apt-get install nvidia-docker2=2.11.0-1 nvidia-container-toolkit=1.11.0-1 libnvidia-container-tools=1.11.0-1 libnvidia-container1=1.11.0-1

to install the latest released versions explicitly.

The output seems to indicate that quite an old version is being picked up so it may be that there is an issue with your repository lists or that there is a different repository providing the packages.

Thanks @elezar I cannot install cuda11 due to my driver being 384.183. I tried to install new driver via NVIDIA Driver Container by following official wiki but failed: NVIDIA/nvidia-container-toolkit#184.

Also, my instance has an existing but older version of Nvidia docker, and modifying /etc/nvidia-container-runtime/config.toml as documented in Driver container wiki makes my original nvidia docker unusable with error: nvidia-container-cli: initialization error: change root failed: no such file or directory. I had to undo the changes suggested in the Driver container wiki to be able to run Nvidia docker.

With the v1.14.0 release we have reworked our packaging significantly. Please see the updated instructions here.

If there are still problems, please open an issue against https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-container-toolkit
