Hm no, what you actually have is cuda-libraries-11-8 depends on cuda-drivers and cuda-drivers depends on cuda-drivers-520 = 520.61.05-1 where you have the version number repeated in the name. That is a really bad pattern for things intended to be backward compatible, as multiple installs of cuda will overwrite "cuda-drivers" and each is pegged to a certain "cuda-drivers-X" where X is part of the name. This results in some really weird dependency hells if you try to install more than 1 CUDA version at the same time depending on the order you install them.

    $ sudo apt show cuda-drivers
    Package: cuda-drivers
    Version: 520.61.05-1
    Priority: optional

    Depends: cuda-drivers-520 (= 520.61.05-1)
