Comment 64 for bug 1166442

Hi Yngve - apport is a security framework which is installed by default in Ubuntu derived (and perhaps base Debian systems, too). I'm running Linux Mint.

The error you're getting is due to the fact that the package hook files provided by the apport package and related to the DKMs (Dynamic Kernel Modules, I believe) are missing. Using "dpkg -L", I've found that you're missing the "dkms" package on your system - "apt-get install dkms" will provide the dkms_packages.py. Then try the module compilation again.
