I ran an update on my host today and it included an update from kernel 5.0 to 5.3.

I was using the nvidia-driver package to allow the use of my NVIDIA cards in a BOINC container.

I get this upon running: apt install nvidia-driver

Code:
Setting up nvidia-kernel-dkms (418.74-1) ...
Loading new nvidia-current-418.74 DKMS files...
Building for 5.3.13-1-pve
Building initial module for 5.3.13-1-pve
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 5.3.13-1-pve (x86_64)
Consult /var/lib/dkms/nvidia-current/418.74/build/make.log for more information.
dpkg: error processing package nvidia-kernel-dkms (--configure):
 installed nvidia-kernel-dkms package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 10

I am getting this error in the build log /var/lib/dkms/nvidia-current/418.74/build/make.log

Code:

I found this which seems to indicate this might be a kernel build issue:
