Ubuntu keeps attempting to build NVIDIA drivers 610.43.02 and fails
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567350/ubuntu-keeps-attempting-to-build-nvidia-drivers-610-43-02-and-failsSince yesterday every time at installation of some software and always at apt-get fails. the offending line that cause this seems to be hit 6:

How to get rid if this repeated attempt of building these drivers ? the build step takes a very long time
sudo ubuntu-drivers install
Your running kernel (7.0.7) requires DKMS modules, and ubuntu-drivers was unable to determine if Secure Boot is enabled. If you have SB enabled, you will need to enroll a MOK to proceed, which will require access to your UEFI menu and administrative privileges. Please use--include-dkms if you want to proceed.
Since my PC has no support for secure boot, all kernel were build skipping signing.
I don't even think NVIDIA drivers are used

sudo apt-get install inxi
sudo apt install ubuntu-drivers-common

It then fails for several versions
The PC seems also to have become sluggish in performance.

ran
sudo mv cuda-ubuntu2604-x86_64.list cuda-ubuntu2604-x86_64.list.disabled
and now it did not show up in the apt-get udpdate but still kepts installing via apt-get upgrade
Now removed that file completely. sudo apt-get clean, but it still keeps building these kernel drivers.
Blacklisting in 50unattended-upgrades did not work either
Unattended-Upgrade::Package-Blacklist { "nvidia-"; "libnvidia-"; }
Something is telling Ubuntu to build and install these drivers. but what ?
