dkpg “diversion” error after trying to install nvidia-340 [duplicate]
This question already has an answer here:
dpkg-divert: error: rename involves overwriting error after upgrading from 16.04 to 16.10
1 answer
I have a Dell with a Core I5 and a GeForce820M.
After upgrading to 18.04 LTS I tried to upgrade the nvidia drivers by running
sudo apt-get install nvidia-340
which is the recommended driver for my GPU.
The problem is the installation failed, I didn't record the fail reasons and now any dpkg or apt-get commands I try to run say that I should run
sudo dpkg --configure -a
I tried running that but it kept getting stuck at
Building initial module for 4.15.0-23-generic
Finally I managed to complete it, but when I tried to install the nvidia-340 package again I got an error:

Had the exact same hang onthe exact same kernel while trying to install nvidia-390.
Following this thread it seems like the install is waiting for a password, so I blind-typed it several times and the installation continued.
You should probably purge the package you installed and try to re-install it. Installing as root user would eliminate the need to type the password.
