Public bug reported:

The package installation fails in postinst:

+ dpkg-query -W -f=${Version} nvidia-185-kernel-source
+ awk -F - {print $1}
+ PKGVER=185.18.36
+ PKGVER=185.18.36
+ SOURCES=/var/lib/dkms/nvidia/
+ VERSION=185.71
+ dpkg --compare-versions 185.18.36 lt 185.71
+ echo True
+ STATUS=True
+ [ configure = configure ]
+ [ -z  ]
+ KERNEL_MATCHES=false
+ echo First Installation: checking all kernels...

+ [ false = false ]
+ echo Directory for kernel  not found in /lib/modules

+ dpkg --print-architecture
+ FORCE_ARCH=x86_64
+ echo Adding Module to DKMS build system
Adding Module to DKMS build system
+ dkms add -m nvidia -v

Error! Invalid number of arguments passed.
Usage: add -m <module> -v <module-version>

The reason for this is, that the script uses a variable $CVERSION that
is never defined. Adding it manually works:

dkms add -m nvidia -v 185.18.36

Creating symlink /var/lib/dkms/nvidia/185.18.36/source ->
                 /usr/src/nvidia-185.18.36

DKMS: add Completed.
