Bug#950128: nvidia-graphics-drivers: Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 5.4.0-3-amd64 (x86_64)

[Bas Couwenberg]

Source: nvidia-graphics-drivers
Version: 435.21-3
Severity: serious
Justification: makes the package in question unusable or mostly so

Dear Maintainer,

The upgrade of nvidia-kernel-dkms failed due to building the module for 5.4.0-3-amd64 failing:

 Building initial module for 5.4.0-3-amd64
 Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 5.4.0-3-amd64 (x86_64)
 Consult /var/lib/dkms/nvidia-current/435.21/build/make.log for more information.

The make.log shows:

 The Module.symvers file is missing, or does not contain any
 symbols exported from the kernel. This could cause the NVIDIA
 kernel modules to be built against a configuration that does
 not accurately reflect the actual target kernel.
 The Module.symvers file check can be disabled by setting the
 environment variable IGNORE_MISSING_MODULE_SYMVERS to 1.
 make[3]: *** [/var/lib/dkms/nvidia-current/435.21/build/Kbuild:198: module_symvers_sanity_check] Error 1

Setting the env var doesn't help.

Kind Regards,

Bas
