3) What you expected to happen
  The new kernel installs and dkms modules compile normally

4) What happened instead
This error shows up when upgrade to kernel 4.15.0-29:

Processing triggers for linux-image-4.15.0-29-generic (4.15.0-29.31~16.04.1) ...
/etc/kernel/postinst.d/dkms:

information.


It seems there are some compilation errors in make.log:
