nvidia-331-uvm 331.38-0ubuntu7: nvidia-331-uvm kernel module failed to build. "Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 3.13.0-34-generic (x86_64)"

I think this happened when I tried to do security updates with aptitude. It probably would not have happened had I done the other upgrades at the same time. Is there some way the nvidia drivers can be listed as a dependency for the kernel upgrade on systems that have the nvidia drivers installed?
