bcmwl-kernel-source 6.20.155.1+bdcom-0ubuntu0.0.1: bcmwl kernel module failed to build

[bewresu]

I don't exactly know what's going on... but apport suggests I file a bug for this.

I was trying to install Raring enablement stack on Precise and this appears.

Well after reading these logs I think it's because I have proprietary gpu driver installed while performing the upgrade. And somehow it prevented the new kernel to be built. But yeah, I don't know really.
