Initially I was following the official forum article describing how to install the driver (https://support.displaylink.com/knowledgebase/articles/1944022-how-to-install-displaylink-software-on-ubuntu-20-0) but unfortunately I got the same error as per step 1. That's why I guess there isn't an issue with your package, but rather my local environment. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks heaps!

Hi @MrDockal! I would first try do remove all evdi versions before trying again.

Hello @Barabazs thank you for your reply .. Sorry I was out of the office for a while where the docking station is. I tried to uninstall all evdi versions, but the same bug persisted.

However, I ended up upgrading my kernel to 5.11.0-40-generic and the installation seems to be successful this time. As soon as I try it with the docking station I'll let you know.
