Package cuda-license-7-5 is obsoleted by cuda-libs - cuda

Question

I am installing cuda-repo-rhel7-7-5-local-7.5-18.x86_64.rpm
When I executed yum install cuda the error seems to be related to
Package cuda-license-7-5 is obsoleted by cuda-libs, but obsoleting package does not provide for requirements
I tried the suggestions but they didn't work.
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
the output of
$ uname -m && cat /etc/*release

Answer 1

By default, CentOS 7 tries to download cuda7.5 (I guess it is seen by CentOs as the latest stable release)
sudo yum install cuda-devel
...
Package cuda-license-7-5 is obsoleted by cuda-libs, but obsoleting package does not provide for requirements
Instead, just install the cuda-8-0 package!
sudo yum install cuda-8-0
It does not depend on the obsolete cuda-license-7-5 package.
Note: at the end of the installation, I had some issues with the key, this can be avoided with (not recommended)
sudo yum install cuda-8-0 --nogpgcheck
