@Syslog.eu:
This simple addition allowed me to stop flailing and zero in on the
problem!
The "Could not locate dkms.conf file" error wasn't enough. Knowing what
it was looking for IMMEDIATELY showed me what the problem was. For
whatever reason, the version number reflected in the folder
/var/lib/
One should adapt the /usr/sbin/dkms script to be more informative when
error logging. You can change the line 527 (or similar on your system):
[[ -r $read_conf_file ]] || die 4 $"Could not locate dkms.conf file." \
to something like
[[ -r $read_conf_file ]] || die 4 $"Could not locate $read_conf

@nazar-pc I have no idea what you are talking about. "remove any
directories from old modules you had in past and do not have installed
anymore" doesn't mean anything to me at all. What "any directories"?
Can someone please provide step-by-step instructions for all of this?

Go to /var/lib/dkms/ and remove any directories from old modules you had in
past and do not have installed anymore.
After that it should work fine. It was too difficult for Ubuntu developers to
automate, so they've fixed the core issue, but didn't clean /var/lib/dkms/ from
older crap.

Well, this is an issue reported against DKMS package in particular
distro: Ubuntu. Not against DKMS as such. It happens on development
version of Ubuntu for a long time, can't say how long exactly.
Apparently, issue is present since 2011 and is triggered under certain
conditions.

Then point to the distro used, and expose your issue to their devs. Give them
details about which version/source are problematic, if extra packages (ppa,
...)/ custom compiled source ... are also used.
Dkms is not evolved and so will not get fix. That report is useless.

It is an issue for a lot of people here and today, on up to date Ubuntu
version. I'm living on development version of Ubuntu for few years now
and it is a pain to manually run dkms for each driver after each kernel
upgrade. And I'm regularly cleaning my system from old packages and
other garbage.
@Nazar
this has been an issue long time ago, but has been fixed since a while (apt).
So this is more a user maintenance problem now rather a bug. I suppose this
concern many 'rolling' installations where users:
- have left behind old disturbing setting
- rarely/never clean their system: clean/au
And why was this marked incomplete? It definitely happens to a lot of
people.
