nixGLNvidia fails on debian buster due to Tesla driver 418.152.00

[KaneTW]

Debian Buster can't build nixGLNvidia. 418.152.00 is located at https://us.download.nvidia.com/tesla/418.152.00/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-418.152.00.run and not under http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/, so the URL is wrong and it can't be fteched.

I'm on Ubuntu Bionic and got the similar error:

error: unable to download 'https://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/440.118.02/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-440.118.02.run': HTTP error 404

Damned, that's interesting. Sorry @KaneTW I totally missed the notification.

Thank you @yodahuang, I'll try to find a solution for this ASAP.

My issue might be a duplication of #49, as Nvidia removes old driver.

@guibou nixGL still consistently fails to download the needed nvidia version on archlinux for me. I've forked the repo to use us.download.nvidia.com instead of download.nvidia.com and haven't run into any problems with that. Would it be possible to switch to us.download.nvidia.com or at least provide an option to specify a download server?

My coworker hit something similar today: he upgraded to 510.73.08 which his distro packager presumably got from https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu2004/x86_64/ but that version is missing from https://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/

I'm not sure what the best way to solve this one is: maybe we can unpack the DEB in such cases? Unsure how the distribution differs... Same issue with RPM and CentOS and such.
