I’m having issues with installation of cuda on my system, trying to install it using the apt package manager was giving the error below error so i tried searching for a solution for it and found a bit similar issue so I tried following the answer given at [nvidia forum link](https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/cuda-11-7-failing-to-install-on-debian-sid/215474) but it didn’t help.
