Solution

  • I could solve it after 3 days serching. first i ran

    LC_MESSAGES=C dpkg-divert --list 'nvidia-340' | sed -nre 's/^diversion of (.) to ./\1/p' | xargs -rd'\n' -n1 -- sudo dpkg-divert --remove

    sudo apt --fix-broken install

    then:

    sudo apt purge nvidia*

    and reboot.
