Thanks for this. However, nvidia-persistenced is not forked in Devuan and we use
Debian's packages directly without recompilation. Please report directly to
Debian's BTS.

Thanks.

Package: nvidia-persistenced
Version: 470.129.06-1

date: 2022-06-16 (did not find the time to complete the report)
System: devuan version is daedalus/ceres
kernel: Linux 5.18.0-2-amd64

Abstract: There is no other error than the package's "not fully installed"=
 status.
Traced to a "/etc/init.d/nvidia-persistenced start|restart" issue.
(Possibly, this happens only on the initial installation of nvidia driver =
and kernel. don't know)

* Description
The package status can be fixed without an update (see log below):
  Stop nvidia-persistenced, then call apt. Done.
  $ sudo /etc/init.d/nvidia-persistenced stop && sudo apt upgrade
Diving deeper:
During installation: First call of "/etc/init.d/nvidia-persistenced start"=
 will exit(1).
  This is to expect and not an error (if nvidia-kernel not booted yet).
  But interpreted as "install failure".
After reboot, at any further apt invocation:
  "/etc/init.d/nvidia-persistenced start" is fired again.
  But now /usr/bin/nvidia-persistenced is already running, and returns exi=
t(1).

* Fix proposal:
Figured out two ways - not sure which one to use:
a) $ "/usr/bin/nvidia-persistenced start" may exit(0) in case nvidia-persi=
stenced is running
OR
b) DEBIAN/postinst may always fire "restart"
