Package: nvidia-kernel-dkms
Version: 195.36.24-1
Severity: important

Hi,

building the kernel moduel fails with the following error message:
 fixdep: /var/lib/dkms/nvidia/195.36.24/build/.nv_gvi.o.d: No such file or 
directory

The same message occurs when running the nvidia install script manually. The
only solution for me is to run the following commands to create the relevant
symlinks inside the build directory (during the run of the installer script
resp. nvidia-kernel-dkms with the help of a little loop):
 ln -s .tmp_nv_gvi.d .nv_gvi.o.d
 ln -s .tmp_nv-vm.d .nv-vm.o.d
 ln -s .tmp_os-agp.d .os-agp.o.d
 ln -s .tmp_os-interface.d .os-interface.o.d
 ln -s .tmp_os-registry.d .os-registry.o.d
 ln -s .tmp_nv-i2c.d .nv-i2c.o.d
 ln -s .tmp_nvacpi.d .nvacpi.o.d
 ln -s .nvidia.mod.o.tmp .nvidia.mod.o.d

Afterwards, the installation succeeds.

Haven't figured out yet why the installer creates the wrong file names, but
this problem also occurs a few times when searching the web.

Regards,
Alex
