Hello, I am following this tutorial https://www.kali.org/docs/general-use/install-nvidia-drivers-on-kali-linux/ for trying to install nvidia drivers

I have fully upgrade the system, done every step except when I use
sudo apt install -y nvidia-driver nvidia-cuda-toolkit

the cuda toolkit installs successfully but the nvidia-driver not so much

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
