** Description changed:
- After running an update to a new kernel I got an error about packacge

+ After running an update to a new kernel I got an error about packacge
oss4-dkms. I ignored it, alas, and rebooted the next day. After reboot, all
sound was gone. Indeed, no modules for sound were loaded. I remembered the
error and forced a reinstall:
apt-get --reinstall install oss4-base oss4-dkms
This went wrong when installing oss4-dkms: it tried to update the new
kernel (2.6.32-23-generic on 10.04 x64) to include the oss4 modules but
couldn't proceed since /lib/modules/2.6.32-23-generic/source/ doesn't
exist. I checked, kernel sources are installed. A simple ln -s /usr/src
/linux-headers-2.6.32-23-generic/ /lib/modules/2.6.32-23-generic/source
solved the problem.
Proposed solution: either have the oss4-dms package look in /usr/src
/linux-headers-xxx for it's files, or create the symlink given above by
default.
