This has been failing consistently since Feb 27.
This is a bad test, because a failure of the nvidia dkms module to be buildable should be captured as a failure on the nvidia package and not on the ubuntu-drivers package which is testing all of drivers. For ubuntu-
Also opening a task against the nvidia 304 package, which probably needs a fix for newer kernels or to be dropped from the archive if it's incompatible with linux 3.19.
That's pretty much exactly what the u-d-common tests are supposed to detect -- the new kernel broke the -304 nvidia driver. I talked about that to Alberto last week, but good to have a bug now.
