Comment 79 for bug 1268257

Just adding more data. When I wanted to `apt-get install linux-headers-3.16.0-28 linux-headers-3.16.0-28-generic` I saw these errors:

run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/header_postinst.d/dkms 3.16.0-28-generic /boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-28-generic
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 3.16.0-28-generic (x86_64)

Here more context from the make.log:
