I installed the CUDA 8.0 toolkit on Ubuntu 16.04 successfully a few days ago. Then suddenly today after running 'apt-get update', it started saying the cuda 8.0 toolkit is no longer needed.

Now, i'm just afraid to do any apt-get upgrade or autoremove in case the whole installation would go away and all the config get messed up. What hould I do?
