Displaylink installation error on Ubuntu 20.04

[iggy12345]

I looked into the preinst script of the evdi package and found it was simply checking if

/opt/displaylink/evdi.tar.gz

existed, and that was causing an eror stating

Error: Another EVDI distribution detected

deleting the file allowed installation of the new version to proceed.

Thank you, this is the real and clean solution.
