Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nvidia-current

In Lucid 10.04:
I have a 4GB machine but the installation process installed a non-PAE kernel, causing only 3GB to be available. I manually installed the PAE generic kernel package (BUT FORGOT TO INSTALL THE HEADERS PACKAGE FOR IT) and rebooted, then I installed nvidia-current. Installation did not report an error but X would not start after reboot.

The cause was that the kernel driver compile failed because the headers
were missing.

I think nvidia-current should pull those in, and should report an
installation failure if they are missing.

** Affects: nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu)
