Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nvidia-173-kernel-source

On a karmic version of Kubuntu , upgrading to the very last version of
nvidia-173-kernel-source (173.14.20-0ubuntu3) through nvidia-glx-173
fails because the patch command is missing (that makes the nvidia kernel
driver "partially" installed and unusable by Xorg):

Error! Could not locate nvidia.ko for module nvidia in the DKMS tree.
You must run a dkms build for kernel 2.6.31-14-generic (i686) first.
Done.
