Also the prerequistes have been installed. Is there a way to check if they were correctly installed?

Thank you for your help!

You aren't doing the apt-get update.

[mmitterma]

I did it (the apt-get update).

Is there a way to check, if the prerequesites have been correctly installed? How looks your /etc/apt/sources.list? Would be very helpfu if you could post what's in your's after the prerequisites have been installed.

[mmitterma]

When I look in my /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nvidia-docke.list then it's empty. Is tehre something in yours?
