Bug Description

When switching kernels from 4.13.0-45-generic to 4.15.0-24-generic, dkms fails in buildign the nvidia-340 module(s). My graphics component doesn't allow for a newer nvidia driver than the 340 one.

I just bumped into bug during a regular (automatic) system update. Apparently, we're auto-upgrading from kernel 4.13 to 4.15?
