package blcr-dkms 0.8.2-10 failed to install/upgrade: blcr kernel module failed to build

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. This particular bug has already been reported and is a duplicate of bug #762996, so it is being marked as such. Please look at the other bug report to see if there is any missing information that you can provide, or to see if there is a workaround for the bug. Additionally, any further discussion regarding the bug should occur in the other report. Feel free to continue to report any other bugs you may find.

even after upgrade to latest kernel etc;

E: /var/cache/apt/archives/openbravo-erp_2.50MP-25EU1-1maverick1_all.deb:
subprocess dpkg-split returned error exit status 2
