Bug Description
Binary package hint: dkms
Description: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Release: 10.04
Shortly after bootup I was browsing in swiftfox and this crash notification message popped up saying this package had failed to install. I don't remember requesting this package. I have my upgrade manager set on manual only and I don't think I did anything to start one, and I don't think I had Synaptic running so I don't know what prompted this installation attempt or the subsequent crash.
To try to learn more about the bug I ran these follow up tests. It demonstrated that that package came from the installation disk. i had previously checked the repository option that includes the install CDROM. However I was unable to repeat a crash or same error.
1) I ran Synaptic and saw that it said dkms _IS_ installed after all, but I went ahead and did a reinstall with the CDROM in the drive and it succeeded.
2) continuting in Synaptic without restarting I did a reinstall of dkms without the CDROM in the drive (but connected to the internet). After a minute or so it asked
[code]
Please insert the disk labeled:
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS _Lucid Lynx_ - Release i386 (20100429)
in drive /cdrom/
[/code]
I inserted it and closed the disk drive and then hit the okay button. It succeeded.
3) I did the same as #3 except this time I did not close the drive until after i hit the okay button.
This time it reported:
[code]
{first line is aproximation, the rest is a quote} Could not mount Lucid Lynx 10.04
Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with:
mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: /dev/sr0 already mounted or /media/cdrom0 busy
I clicked okay, then it immediately downloaded the file succeeded in reinstalling the dkms package.

It looks like your installation media no longer contained DKMS on it.
dpkg: error processing /media/
cannot access archive: No such file or directory
I'm not sure of your installation media source, but this is certainly not a bug in DKMS.
