nvidia-331-updates-uvm 331.113-0ubuntu0.0.4: nvidia-331-updates-uvm kernel module failed to build

[Michael Spall]

This happened during updates. I was running:
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
The output said to check /var/lib/dkms/nvidia-331-updates-uvm/331.113/build/make.log, but that file doesn't exist. Here is part of the terminal output with the error message.

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

Building the module manualy givers:
Makefile:216: ../nvidia-modules-common.mk: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target '../nvidia-modules-common.mk'. Stop.

Just for some info, I accidently removed WINE and boom the update installed.
