nvidia-current-updates 295.49-0ubuntu0.1: nvidia-current-updates kernel module failed to build

[Shashank]

This happened after I installed the new kernel (3.5.*) and was trying it on LTS.
I couldn't install the nvidia-current.
So I tried this when the system reported a problem along with a dialog saying the installation has failed.
Attaching jockey.log
