nvidia-331 331.89-0ubuntu5: nvidia-331 kernel module failed to build [sudo apt-get upgrade reports error]

[Paul John Macaraeg]

I was upgrading my newly configured Utopic Unicorn installation by running "sudo apt-get upgrade". I had recently opted on using a proprietary driver that was indicated as tested under the "Additional Drivers" tab of the "Softwares & Updates" app. I would like to hear more from you regarding this and hope that this bug will not happen in Vivid Velvet since I am looking forward to upgrading to it by April. Good day. Thank you very much! More powers to all!

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.
