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

[CodeHike]

I did a fresh install from the cd in an acer aspire 5520 laptop with the following lshw information:

Oh, nevermind, I apologize, I did a system update and then the error was gone. Please disregard this report!
