package lirc-modules-source 0.8.7-0ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: lirc kernel module failed to build

[Stéphane Charette]

Binary package hint: lirc

using Synaptic, I removed and tried to re-install lirc since it had failed to upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04beta. This didn't solve the problem, installation still failed. Ubuntu then prompted me to create this bug report.
