Bug#1071472: nvidia-cudnn: curl has no option called --no-check-certificate

[Santiago Vila]

Package: nvidia-cudnn
Version: 8.9.2.26~cuda12+3
Tags: patch

Dear maintainer:

While building packages in the near future, for QA purposes, I noticed
that package "pytorch-cuda" failed to build with this error message:

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Setting up nvidia-cudnn (8.9.2.26~cuda12+3) ...
[...]
curl: option --no-check-certificate: is unknown
curl: try 'curl --help' or 'curl --manual' for more information
---------------------------------------------------------------------

I believe this bug was introduced in commit [866f3c5] of nvidia-cudnn,
when support for curl was added.

The attached patch (untested) might help.

[ Note: Building in the future for QA purposes is still desired,
please do not remove this option... ]

Thanks.
