Nvidia-related error during an update involving the kernel

[Evgeny Makarov]

After a regular update that involved kernel 3.13.0-59 (currently using 3.13.0-58), I got an error message, I believe, about the nvidia-331 package. Unfortunately, I after I clicked the button to submit the bug, I don't have the error message anymore. I also got an error about the nvidia-331-uvm package. The latter may be related to bug #1268257, and I've kept getting it with every kernel update for several months. But the error about the nvidia-331 package is new.
