Public bug reported:
The nvidia-185-kernel-source (185.18.36-0ubuntu3) package upgrade
succeeds, even though the DKMS build fails.
I believe the package should not be marked as configured in this case,
especially as otherwise the user will notice the problem only on the
next boot.
Example failure case (due to DKMS bug #438393):
-----------------
Configuring: nvidia-185-kernel-source (185.18.36-0ubuntu3) ...
Removing all DKMS Modules
Done.
Adding Module to DKMS build system
driver version= 185.18.36
Doing initial module build
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 2.6.31-11-generic (i686)
Consult the make.log in the build directory
/var/lib/dkms/nvidia/185.18.36/build/ for more information.
Installing initial module
Error! Could not locate nvidia.ko for module nvidia in the DKMS tree.
You must run a dkms build for kernel 2.6.31-11-generic (i686) first.
Done.
