nvidia-331-updates-uvm 331.113-0ubuntu0.1: nvidia-331-updates-uvm kernel module failed to build

[Jeroen T. Vermeulen]

Laptop insisted on upgrade from 14.10 to 15.04 on the day before travel. Took hours, so I let it upgrade overnight. Partway through it got stuck on some pointless press-OK-to-acknowledge dialog, so it wasn't done the following morning; there was no way to stop the upgrade and suspend didn't work, so I had to turn the machine off while it was installing. After that, things were of course broken to the point where they need hours more of work in the shell to fix up and complete the upgrade. This is one of several crashes which occurred while completing the upgrade.
