Bug Description
This is on a Intel Compute Stick STK1AW32SC (Atom x5-Z830) using elementaryos-
The default kernel does not provice all required drivers to operate all hardware. Currently installed is HWE.
This problem happens when installing HWE-edge.

The problem is:
/var/lib/
As far as I read online, last_rx was removed / moved. So the driver source seems incompatible with newer kernel versions.

Expected behaviour:
Installing HWE should include all required dependencies (like it does with Xorg) so that at least the recent LTS version can be fully functional on hardware that requires a more modern kernel than the default one.
