is nvidia cuda toolkit package broken?

["H.S." <hs.samix@gmail.com>]

Folks,

I am trying to install Nvidia CUDA toolkit package (to try out CUDA 
programming) but seem to be getting this circular dependency problem:
~$ sudo aptitude install nvidia-cuda-toolkit
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  libcublas6.5{a} libcuda1{a} libcuda1:i386{a} libcuda1-i386:i386{a} 
libcudart6.5{a} libcufft6.5{a} libcufftw6.5{a} libcuinj64-6.5{a} 
libcurand6.5{a}
  libcusparse6.5{a} libnppc6.5{a} libnppi6.5{a} libnpps6.5{a} 
libnvblas6.5{a} libnvcuvid1{a} libnvidia-ml1:i386{a} libnvtoolsext1{a} 
libnvvm2{a}
  libthrust-dev{a} libvdpau-dev{a} nvidia-cuda-dev{a} 
nvidia-cuda-doc{a} nvidia-cuda-gdb{a} nvidia-cuda-toolkit 
nvidia-opencl-dev{a} nvidia-opencl-icd{a}
  nvidia-profiler{a} nvidia-smi{ab} nvidia-smi:i386{ab} 
nvidia-visual-profiler{a} opencl-headers{a}
0 packages upgraded, 31 newly installed, 0 to remove and 47 not upgraded.
Need to get 503 MB of archives. After unpacking 1,009 MB will be used.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 nvidia-smi : Conflicts: nvidia-smi:i386 but 340.96-4 is to be installed.
 nvidia-smi:i386 : Conflicts: nvidia-smi but 340.96-4 is to be installed.
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

     Keep the following packages at their current version:
1)     nvidia-smi:i386 [Not Installed]

     Leave the following dependencies unresolved:
2)     libcuda1:i386 recommends nvidia-smi:i386


Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?]


Anybody know about this problem, or is it just my installation
~$ uname -a
Linux bijli 4.3.0-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.3.3-5 (2016-01-04) x86_64 
GNU/Linux


Thanks.
