After having the same problem, I dist-upgraded to proposed and can
confirm that it fixed it (I did an apt-get purge nividia* before the
dist-upgrade then a apt-get install nvidia-384 after the dist-upgrade)/

One thing that this minor bug pointed out to me is that it has become
inconvenient in the current strategy to revert to an older Nvidia driver
version, as nvidia-384 is now a transitional package that depends on
nvidia-390.  Even after adding the graphics-driver ppa, it was not
trivially possible to downgrade from 390.  I understand the intent
(upgrade folks to the latest proprietary thing without them needing to
take extra action), but I sort of wonder whether the packages should be
renamed so they don't match the graphics-driver ppa names, such that we
could purge nvidia, then add the ppa, then do e.g. apt-get install
nvidia-387 and actually get 387 instead of 390.
