16.04 can't install nvidia driver

Edited: Swapped the card for a replacement has fixed the video output problem, but I still can't install the nvidia drivers.



Ubuntu details reports my graphics as NVD9



Ubuntu's Additional Drivers page shows GF119 (NVS 310) with X.Org X Server as the current driver. Trying to switch it just defaults back to that. Nvidia drivers 304, 340 & 384 all show up, but can't be switched to.



If I try to apt-get one of the nvidia packages, I get:



The following packages have unmet dependencies:
nvidia-current : Depends: nvidia-304 but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.


Drilling down a few levels I end up with:



The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libc6-i386 : Depends: libc6 (= 2.23-0ubuntu3) but 2.23-0ubuntu11 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.


I don't have any held packages (sudo apt-mark showhold returns nothing)



Downgrading libc6 seems impractical, (and would include removing 180+ other packages and seems likely to break the development environment on the computer). I've tried, among other things, the instructions listed elsewhere on Ask Ubuntu with no luck: no errors until the first one above.



Additionally, a similar question included a request for this information:
