Package: nvidia-settings
Version: 367.57-1~bpo8+1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

When launching "nvidia-settings" via the terminal window I see the following error:

ERROR: /usr/lib/libnvidia-gtk3.so.367.57: undefined symbol: ctk_init_check
       /usr/lib/libnvidia-gtk3.so.367.57: undefined symbol: ctk_get_display
       /usr/lib/libnvidia-gtk3.so.367.57: undefined symbol: ctk_main
       libnvidia-gtk3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
       directory

ERROR: A problem occurred when loading the GUI library. Please check your

It looks like the library "/usr/lib/libnvidia-gtk3.so.367.57" is having issues with loading up.

Testing Manually: #nvidia-settings -I /usr/lib/libnvidia-gtk3.so.367.57 shows the same issue.
