It's trying to rebuild for the kernel from the old release.  That is NOT
fixable from u-r-u, we ABSOLUTELY DO NOT remove the kernel from the old
release from disk as part of the upgrade as it needs to be available as
the fallback in case of any issues with the new kernel.

Bug description:
  When upgrading from lunar to mantic I got this error:

  ```
  Loading new v4l2loopback-0.12.7 DKMS files...

  ```

  It looks like v4l2loopback-dkms from mantic is not compatible with
  lunar kernel, but since I'm upgrading from lunar to mantic I'm still
  running the lunar kernel.

  I was able to finish the mantic installation by doing:

  ```
  apt-get remove v4l2loopback-dkms
  apt-get --fix-broken install
  ```

  I'll have to manually reinstall v4l2loopback-dkms after the reboot.
