[Andreas Beckmann]

That's the actual culprit:

This is not a bug in nvidia-kernel-dkms.
I assume this is a temporary breakage due to the ongoing 64-bit time_t 
transition which involves a huge amount of package renames.

I cannot reproduce it in an up-to-date sid chroot with 
linux-headers-6.6.15-amd64 installed (which has been superseded by 6.7.* 
btw).

Updating your system again should probably fix the issue.

In case it persists: Which variant and version of the libelf.so.1 
library do you have installed?

dpkg -l libelf1 libelf1t64
