[Bug 575997] [NEW] kernel upgrade does not update kernel headers

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Kubuntu Lucid, clean install from release CD image.

I received an update notification that a new linux-image was available,
so I installed it with apt-get dist-upgrade

linux-image-generic:
  Installed: 2.6.32.22.23
  Candidate: 2.6.32.22.23
  Version table:
 *** 2.6.32.22.23 0
        500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     2.6.32.21.22 0
        500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages

However, the update did not pull in the required linux-headers-generic
package and so my nvidia driver (propietary, installed using the
Hardware Drivers app) did not get upgraded. I had to manually

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.32-22-generic

Only after that did dkms install my nividia driver. Looks like a broken
dependency somewhere, or perhaps a meta package did not get installed
somewhere. I havent removed any packages myself.

** Affects: linux (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Incomplete
