Bug Description
With 5.3.0-12-generic on bionic virtualbox-dkms fails to build the kernel driver. Excerpt of build failure below. Full text attached. This is the second time I've been bitten by this dkms failing to build on kernel upgrades. It really feels like the -dkms packages successfully building should be a gating factor in releasing hwe-kernels. Perhaps such a test can be added to autopkgtests?
