package dkms 2.1.1.2-2ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2

[Walter Cheuk]

Installing update packages, system reboot due to power failure. Reboot, run update manager and it tell to run 'sudo apt-get install -f' to fix some problems, and that command tells to run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to fix some further problems. And then this bug happens.

That version is no more supported; and backport is not expected as its not a 'security' problem
