I got this error but it's the same thing: nvidia-331 331.89-0ubuntu3: nvidia-331 kernel module failed to build

Consult /var/lib/dkms/nvidia-331/331.89/build/make.log for more information.
However /var/lib/dkms/nvidia-331/331.89/build/make.log does not exist.

I have the following nvidia files installed and it does 2 DKMS updates to the kernel and the 2nd one does not get this error.
