Title:
  postinst fails if running kernel has no headers installed

Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Postinstall script fails to update initramfs if running kernel is not installed in system, for example chroot environment.
  relevant section of nvidia-current.postinst
  -----------------
          CURRENT_KERNEL=$(uname -r)
          NEWEST_KERNEL=$(get_newest_kernel "$KERNELS")

          ALTERNATIVE=$(readlink /etc/alternatives/gl_conf)
          if [ "$ALTERNATIVE" = "/usr/lib/nvidia-current/ld.so.conf" ]; then
              # Update initramfs so that the blacklist ends up in the initramfs
              update-initramfs -u

              if [ -n "$NEWEST_KERNEL" ] && [ ${CURRENT_KERNEL} != ${NEWEST_KERNEL} ]; then
                  update-initramfs -u -k $CURRENT_KERNEL
              fi
          fi
  ----------------
  $CURRENT_KERNEL ist not installed, so "update-initramfs -u -k $CURRENT_KERNEL" fails.

  running chrooted Lucid in a Karmic system.
