Getting this error when trying to update to the the latest Nvidia proprietary drivers using “auto install proprietary” and mhwd install.

This didn’t work for me as it still uses mhwd and throws up the same error.
This doesn’t work for me either. I’ve tried auto install and manually install of the free drivers. I’ve tried force uninstall and force reinstall for the nvidia 440xx driver too. Still the same error each time. Tried those on Kernel 5.8 and 5.7 but get identical errors on both.
Everything else about the update works fine.
