Title:
  kernel header package not correctly upgraded

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  I upgraded this machine from Lucid, through Maverick, Natty and
  finally to Oneiric.

  This machine has the nvidia DKMS driver package installed, which
  required the presence of the kernel headers package.

  Originally on Lucid, the -generic (non-pae) and -pae kernels were
  installed. The kernel headers package was installed, but not the -pae
  headers. The default boot was to the non-pae kernel

  On the upgrade to Natty, the kernel that was the default boot was changed from -generic to -generic-pae,
  but the kernel headers for -pae were not installed, and the nvidia DKMS package failed to build.

  The results in loss of graphics, and also in loss of network (due to
  no graphics).

  I've attached a tarball of all files in /var/log/dist-upgrade
