package nvidia-dkms-520 520.61.05-0ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: installed nvidia-dkms-520 package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 10

[Pedro Lucas S. H. Torres]

I was trying to install Cuda 11.8, which requires nvidia driver version 520. Installation failed, probably because of some recent incompatibility issue with this driver's version (520) and then I was removing what was installed of Cuda through `$sudo apt remove --purge '^cuda-.*' when this error arose.

I can also not install nvidia-dkms-520 520.61.05-0ubuntu1.

In the dkms crash file I have the following Error:

This is kernel 6.2 + nvidia issue, I've fixed by this patch

@mikehuo Is this fix in an updated 520 distribution? If so, I'll download and try again.
