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

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package dkms - 2.3-3ubuntu1

---------------
dkms (2.3-3ubuntu1) zesty; urgency=medium

  * 0013-postinst-Fix-newest-kernel-detection.patch: dkms_common.postinst:  We
    were passing a list of kernels to get_newest_kernel(), when it expected a
    single kernel as its first argument - the currently running kernel. This
    in turn meant that the sometimes (if the first thing in the list was
    itself the newest kernel), the wrong kernel was passed into
    _get_newest_kernel_debian(). As a result this falsely reported that there
    was no 'newest' kernel available and then didn't build modules for it.
    Drop the parameter to get_newest_kernel(), and instead rely on
    CURRENT_KERNEL being set to $(uname -r). (LP: #1681566)

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`
