While trying to install CUDA I somehow managed to break my NVIDIA drivers - or maybe it was the dist-upgrade, I don't know.
I have now purged and removed anything NVIDIA-related
sudo apt-get remove --purge '^nvidia-.*'
sudo apt-get autoremove
But as I try to install the NVIDIA-driver I am getting
Error while aplying changes
pk-client-error-quark: Error while installing package: installed nvidia-dkms-418 package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 10 (313)
This is the output after removing everything and following the CUDA instructions. Installing cuda via apt-get wants to install the required NVIDIA driver but fails to do so:
$ sudo apt-get -y install cuda

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:
`/usr/sbin/initramfs -u`

I found a bug report that looks similar to this but regards a different driver version.

The Module.symvers file is missing, or does not contain any
symbols exported from the kernel. This could cause the NVIDIA
kernel modules to be built against a configuration that does
not accurately reflect the actual target kernel.
The Module.symvers file check can be disabled by setting the
environment variable IGNORE_MISSING_MODULE_SYMVERS to 1.

How can I fix this?
Update
It works with the latest driver (nvidia-driver-440). However, I need nvidia-driver-418 in order to run CUDA on my machine.
