Workaround until this gets fixed:

# stop nvidia-persistenced
$ sudo service nvidia-persistenced stop

# completely uninstall failed package and dependencies
$ apt-get remove nvidia-updates-331 nvidia-updates-331-dev nvidia-updates-331-uvm

# reinstall all three packages
$ apt-get install nvidia-updates-331 nvidia-updates-331-dev nvidia-updates-331-uvm

# restart persistenced
$ sudo service nvidia-persistenced start
