[Bug 1681566] Re: nvidia-375 DKMS module not recompiled on upgrade to 17.04

[Iain Lane]

With the attached patch the modules are compiled for the right version
for me. It seems like the postinst wasn't working if the passed in
version (from the kernel's postinst.d) happened to be the newest kernel.
I'm not sure why that stopped working. It could be that this code is
meant to return nothing in the newest-kernel case, and some other part
of the code is meant to add the passed-in version to the list of kernels
to build for. I'm not sure.

Please could someone review? If you're comfortable, you can upload
otherwise I can try to do that tomorrow along with forwarding the patch.

The bug needs SRUifying too.

Title:
  nvidia-375 DKMS module not recompiled on upgrade to 17.04

Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-375 package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in virtualbox package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When upgrading from 16.10 to 17.04 using `update-manager -d`, the
  `nvidia-375` DKMS modules are not compiled for the new kernel.

  The result is that the user must run `apt install --reinstall
  nvidia-375` and reboot.

  To reproduce this:

  - Clean install of 16.10 on a system with NVIDIA graphics
  - Install `nvidia-375`
  - Run `update-manager -d`, complete all steps, then reboot
  - You will be unable to login until running `apt install --reinstall nvidia-375`
