it looks like debian wants to unpack a newer package. You want to install 
nvidia version 535, but you need older version 470.

My personal suggestin for your case (maybe others may not agree), would be to 
uninstall all nvidia packages and download the installer for your card from 
the NVidia site.

To uninstall all nvidia package you should run

apt purge ~nnvidia 

or

apt-get --purge remove ~nnvidia

or 

aptitude purge ~nnvidia

 This should uninstall all nvidia packages and its configurations.

Then execute the doenloaded NVidia-*-installer.run.

Please note: In the past I ran sometimes in the inconpability with the actual 
kernel and older nvidia-kernel-modules, as they could not be built with newer 
kernel headers.

If this is so, then I know no other way, than to downgrade your kernel. But 
this is a bad way.  If everything fails, your last chance is to get newer 
NVidia card at e-bay. Modern cards are from 30 Euros to 100 Euros.

I got one (RTX 2060) for about 100 € some days ago, but slower cards like GTX 
940 or GTX 980 or similar are at 30-50 Eurs.

Hope this helps.

Best regards

Hans
