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

[Brian Murray]

If you have a system currently running yakkety or that upgraded to you
yakkety you could look to see how many kernels the modules were built
for e.g. here's a yakkety system of mine:

[  9:05AM 10517 ]  [ bdmurray at impulse:/tmp ]
 $ grep "Building for" /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt-term.log
Building for 4.4.0-66-generic and 4.8.0-41-generic
Building for 4.4.0-66-generic and 4.8.0-41-generic
Building for architecture x86_64
Building for 4.4.0-66-generic and 4.8.0-41-generic

I'm sure there are plenty of apt-term.log files attached to upgrade bug
reports in LP one could also check.

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`
