This bug was fixed in the package dkms - 2.2.0.3-2ubuntu14

---------------
dkms (2.2.0.3-2ubuntu14) yakkety; urgency=medium

  * apport_name_in_valueerror.diff: (LP: #1588479)
    - Check the ValueError from apport for the package name too, this prevents
      reporting of dkms crashes about unsupported kernels.

** Changed in: dkms (Ubuntu Yakkety)
       Status: In Progress => Fix Released

Title:
  dkms_packages.py supported kernel check is not working

Status in dkms package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in dkms source package in Trusty:
  In Progress
Status in dkms source package in Xenial:
  In Progress
Status in dkms source package in Yakkety:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Test Case
  ---------
  1) Look for some dkms package in /usr/src e.g. bbswitch-0.8
  2) Run python3 /usr/share/apport/package-hooks/dkms_packages.py -m bbswitch -v 0.8 -k 4.6.1-01234-lowlatency
  3) Observe a crash report dialog from apport for bbswitch

  With the version of apport from -proposed you will instead receive:

  ERROR (dkms apport): kernel package linux-
  headers-4.6.1-01234-lowlatency is not supported

  
  The apport package hook for dkms packages seems to have an error in its supported kernel check.  If the kernel is an unsupported one, the hook should exit with a return code of 1.  However, in the Ubuntu Error Tracker we can see some crashes with unsupported kernel versions e.g.:

  https://errors.ubuntu.com/oops/2733d742-284e-11e6-a745-fa163e839e11
  DKMSKernelVersion: 4.6.1-040601-lowlatency

  https://errors.ubuntu.com/oops/0a1afefc-253c-11e6-9082-fa163e192766
  DKMSKernelVersion: 4.6.0-040600-lowlatency

  If the intent really is to block creation of these reports, then let's
  do that.
