nvidia-310 310.32-0ubuntu2: nvidia-310 kernel module failed to build

[Samu Nuutamo]

I was updating my system using aptitude upgrade when this issue appeared.

Here's a snippet from the aptitude output:

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Same here, and it happened with nvidia-310-updates as well.
Temp solution - loading the 3.8.0-16 and running `sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-310` and then everything is fine if you enter this kernel and not 17.
