Hi Paul,

I noticed the following in your DpkgTerminalLog.txt:

run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/header_postinst.d/nvidia-common
run-parts: /etc/kernel/header_postinst.d/nvidia-common exited with return code 10
Failed to process /etc/kernel/header_postinst.d at /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-headers-2.6.27-11-generic.postinst line 110.
dpkg: error processing linux-headers-2.6.27-11-generic (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2

It seems this is really an issue with nvidia-common and likely a duplicate of bug 303825 so I am marking it as such. Note that bug 303825 appears to be resolved after reintalling nvidia-common or removing the package altogether. Please comment at that bug and reopen it if it is not resolved for you. Thanks.
