Title:
  nvidia-331-uvm 331.113-0ubuntu0.0.4: nvidia-331-uvm kernel module
  failed to build

Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-331 package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Hello,
  The nvidia-331 kernel module couldn't build during upgrading from kernel 3.13 to 4.0.4. The error messages pop up during the installation of the dpkg of the .deb files for kernel 4.0.4. Actually there are error messages for all the proprietary packages, i.e. nvidia-331 and bcmwl 6.30.223.141 (the installation is looking for 6.30.223.248 which I do not use - I file a separate bug report for that one). 

  I have tried to prevent those complications by priorly installing the
  build-essential package, but it did not help. Would it change
  something if I was unselecting the two proprietary packages from the
  Software admin prior to installing the new kernel, and then
  reinstalling after rebooting under the new kernel ?

  Meanwhile, I'll see if I am more lucky with another kernel, like 3.18
  for my upgrade.
