Public bug reported:
In dkms=2.0.20.4-0ubuntu2, /etc/init.d/dkms_autoinstaller, line 141, it
says
echo " Kernel source for $kernel not installed.
Cannot install this module." >>$output_loc
This is run if /lib/modules/$kernel/build/include doesn't exist (and
another condition is true), but /lib/modules/$kernel/build/include is
created by linux-**headers**-$kernel, not linux-**sources**-$kernel.
The error message should make this clear. It's good usability to
suggest remedies for error situation, so I suggest
echo " Package linux-headers-$kernel not
installed. Cannot install this module." >>$output_loc
--Or--
echo " Kernel source/headers for $kernel not
installed. Cannot install this module." >>$output_loc
echo " Try installing the headers (apt-get install
linux-headers-$kernel)."
--Or--
something to that effect.
** Affects: dkms (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided

Horribly misleading error message: kernel [source vs. headers] not installed
