package bcmwl-kernel-source 5.60.48.36 bdcom-0ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: bcmwl kernel module failed to build

[robinfxdl]

My system is a Dell Vostro 1320 on which I installed the Broadcom wireless network driver after I had installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. I received this error when I tried to install the "flashplugin-installer" from the Synaptic Package Manager.
I also tried to run the Flash Player Install from the Adobe web page and that also failed. I selected the "APT for Ubuntu 9.04+" and then pressed the "Agree and Install Now" button.

I expected the Flash player to be installed as a plugin for Firefox but it fails to complete.

Install build-essentials, will help

[Stanz (stanz)]

I don't see how this can be duplicate to my bug--but I will leave this to you pros.

[Alberto Milone (albertomilone)]

Sorry but I can't see the actual error in this bug report. If you can reproduce the problem, please attach the full error output.

[Santiago (pedromalasartes)]

Well,

I cant reproduce the error because I reinstall the OS and that hasn't
ocurred again.

@Alberto,

the build error is:

I don't know why its targeted to Natty though, because it only hits Lucid.

I'm adding a task for Lucid, it affects so many users that it requires a SRU.

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement (jibel)]

I'm closing the task for Natty because the build problem is with version 5.60.48.36 bdcom-0ubuntu3 of the package which is in Lucid.

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement (jibel)]

And here is the related fix to port to Lucid:
- Bug 580594: Do not #include <linux/autoconf.h> in kernels that include it automatically (2.6.15 or higher)

And this one is very likely needed
- Bug 653899: dkms depend on patch instead of recommending it

[rizki (rizki-05)]

thank you all, I just need to update it online :)
