system fails to realize I am auto removing header package so it
outputs :
dkms: WARNING: Linux headers are missing, which may explain the above
failures.
please install the linux-headers-4.15.0-10-generic package to fix this.
That message to me indicates some logic bug ... system is OK so why that
message ?
