Bug Description
After updating to kernel image 4.15.0-46, the proprietary Nvidia driver 304 module cannot be built anymore.
Graphics card is:
> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF119 [GeForce GT 520] (rev a1)
System is on Xubuntu 16.04.6, 64bit.
Nouveau driver works as fallback, but without hardware acceleration.
Currently testing nvidia-340. Seems fine, but thought I'd report this since booting a working dual-screen setup to single 800x600px after a regular upgrade may scare the hell out of regular users ;)
Here are the error messages during package install, when module compilation is triggered:

The mentioned logfile says:

Has the time come for 304 to phase out due to age?
Thanks in advance.
