Install of nvidia-current-updates through 'Additional Drivers' menu item fails

[Sander Alberink]

On a fresh install of Precise Pangolin I installed the NVidia drivers through the 'Additional Drivers' menu dialog. This install fails with an error. Looking into /var/log/jockey.log it seems that the install fails due to a problem with missing kernel sources. I'm not sure if the kernel will even boot now.

Below I attached the relevant part of jockey.log
