Bug Description

Binary package hint: dkms

Normally, this isn't problematic, but ubiquity installs a no-op script in /usr/lib/ubiquity that is prepended to the path, and might consequentially cause some problems for -kernel-source packages installed from ubiquity.

Need to evaluate if this is actually a problem still, and if so, make sure that depmod is called from /sbin

  * dkms:
    - Make sure to reference depmod from /sbin to prevent wrapper scripts that
      would cause depmod to fail on first boot to keep failing. (LP: #511445)
