Public bug reported:

Hwloc-contrib 1.9-1 currently fails to build because it depends on
libxnvctrl-dev which is not available.

Package libxnvctrl-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
  nvidia-settings

E: Package 'libxnvctrl-dev' has no installation candidate
apt-get failed.

In Debian, libxnvctrl-dev is part of the nvidia-settings package
(http://packages.qa.debian.org/n/nvidia-settings.html). However, this is
not synced since Ubuntu has its own nvidia-settings package
(https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-settings), though that does
not offer the binary package which hwloc-contrib needs.
