Dear maintainers,
The latest upload of python-pynvml has not been migratable to the Ubuntu
release for 4 months, because its dependencies are not satisfiable on armhf.
This is because you have libnvidia-ml1 listed as an alternative dependency
only on amd64 and i386, not on armhf; and the other alternatives,
libnvidia-legacy-390xx-ml1 and libnvidia-legacy-340xx-ml1, don't exist at
all in Ubuntu but libnvidia-ml1 *does* exist as a virtual package provided
by the last release of the nvidia drivers that supported armhf.
I don't see any reason that it would be invalid to list libnvidia-ml1 as an
alternative (or even preferred) dependency for this package on armhf even in
Debian, so I would ask that you apply the attached patch so that the Ubuntu
package can be in sync with Debian and still be installable.
Thanks for considering,
