Itaru, it seems like you are missing the kernel headers and thus all DKMS builds fail. Can you try installing them with:

  sudo apt-get install linux-headers-virtual

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

[Itaru Kitayama (itaru)]

Simon Thank you for looking into the issue.
I'm afraid I no longer have access to the Release
I was on at the time of reporting.

Marking 'Invalid' since it was an issue with user's configuration and user no longer has the same system.
