Public bug reported: This is my first bug report, so apologies if I am not meeting standards. I was trying to install the ndisgtk package via Ubuntu Software Center. Also selected ndiswrapper-dkms and ndiswrapper-source as addons. The error occurred when the Software Center tried to apply these changes.
After this error, I clicked on Install, and the installation seems to have gone through successfully (and ndisgtk application is working correctly.)
