You need to make sure both libdrm-dev and dkms are installed: "sudo apt install libdrm-dev dkms"...

Yep. Both are installed. I uninstall both an let the installer install them, but that don't work too.

Would you like to post your output? Also "lsb_release -a", "uname -a" and "apt search libdrm-dev"

Well I'm assuming that the German is the same as my English version! :-) The only difference i have is that I am running kernel 5.4.0-29.generic...maybe try enabling the focal-proposed repository?

I hope so! Okay I will give it a try. Thanks

You could also try "sudo apt -f install" to fix any missing dependencies before re-running the installation...

[Jeins]

Tried that before. Don't help. And also with new kernel, I get the same error

Same here, I was able to install 5.2 using github link given before, but I can't install 5.3, I got same error.
Tried to re-install dkms and libdrm-dev, with no success
