I'm trying to install cuda 10.1 in my ubuntu 20.04 system. I looked this up on the official nvidia website. However, the cuda version that I need is not available for ubuntu version I have. So, I thought to continue with intsallation process for ubuntu 18. The link that I used is
https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-10.1-download-archive-update2?target_os=Linux&target_arch=x86_64&target_distro=Ubuntu&target_version=1804&target_type=deblocal .
During last step I got the following error.
Errors were encountered while processing:
nvidia-dkms-418
nvidia-driver-418
cuda-drivers
cuda-runtime-10-1
cuda-demo-suite-10-1
cuda-10-1
cuda
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
I tried answer accepted in this post https://askubuntu.com/a/1119232/1191829 but still got the same error. Can anybody please provide me the solution?

A modprobe blacklist file has been created at /etc/modprobe.d to prevent Nouveau
from loading. This can be reverted by deleting the following file:
/etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf
A new initrd image has also been created. To revert, please regenerate your
initrd by running the following command after deleting the modprobe.d file:

EDIT: cuda 10.1 requires nvidia driver greater than 418. So I changed it to nvidia-driver-465(software & updates --> Additional drivers). However, it keeps reverting back to nvidia-driver-418
