You have been subscribed to a public bug: Trying to install the 4.7 kernel (canonical-kernel-team unstable ppa) with a nvidia-361 driver (yakkety default) fails to build.
This is due to a new variable name used both by nvidia & the kernel: http://rglinuxtech.com/?p=1750 (explanation) Instead of following the tweaks explained above, a ready to use nvidia-367 driver works very well on my yakkety 64 bits installation with 4.6 & 4.7 kernels. ppa:mamarley/staging So the easiest way for nvidia users is to use that 'mamarley' ppa (thanks for his job) Maybe it could be pushed into the yakkety archive.
