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

[Iain Lane]

With my patch, tested like so

  - boot a yakkety cloud vm
  - install bcmwl-kernel-source virtualbox-dkms ubuntu-release-upgrader-core from yakkety
  - install dkms from comment #19
  - do-release-upgrade -d
  - [...]
  - dkms status

ubuntu at autopkgtest:~$ sudo dkms status
bcmwl, 6.30.223.271+bdcom, 4.10.0-19-generic, x86_64: installed
bcmwl, 6.30.223.271+bdcom, 4.8.0-46-generic, x86_64: installed
virtualbox, 5.1.18, 4.10.0-19-generic, x86_64: installed
virtualbox, 5.1.18, 4.8.0-46-generic, x86_64: installed

But I would like someone that's not me to test please.

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

Status in dkms package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-375 package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
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`
