Title:
  DKMS build fails, but package upgrade still successful

Status in “dkms” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-180” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “dkms” source package in Karmic:
  Invalid
Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-180” source package in Karmic:
  New

Bug description:
  The nvidia-185-kernel-source (185.18.36-0ubuntu3) package upgrade
  succeeds, even though the DKMS build fails.

  I believe the package should not be marked as configured in this case,
  especially as otherwise the user will notice the problem only on the
  next boot.

  Example failure case (due to DKMS bug #438393):
  -----------------
  Configuring: nvidia-185-kernel-source (185.18.36-0ubuntu3) ...
  Removing all DKMS Modules
  Done.
  Adding Module to DKMS build system
  driver version= 185.18.36
  Doing initial module build

  Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 2.6.31-11-generic (i686)
  Consult the make.log in the build directory
  /var/lib/dkms/nvidia/185.18.36/build/ for more information.
  Installing initial module

  Error! Could not locate nvidia.ko for module nvidia in the DKMS tree.
  You must run a dkms build for kernel 2.6.31-11-generic (i686) first.
  Done.
  -----------------

  Extract from make.log
  -----------------
  DKMS make.log for nvidia-185.18.36 for kernel 2.6.31-11-generic (i686)

  The C compiler '/home/pauli/bin/gcc-cached' does not appear to be able to
  create executables.  Please make sure you have 
  your Linux distribution's libc development package
  installed and that '/home/pauli/bin/gcc-cached' is a valid C compiler
  name.
