dell precision/ubuntu 1404 pre installed, after update oem-alps-touchpad error
I've run an update on a Dell Precision 5510, just days new. On reboot, and during the update, there were complaints about the oem-alps-touchpad... See the first 10 lines from the crash report.
Do I repair? Ignore?
The system:
Ubuntu 14.04,
Linux towhee 3.19.0-58-generic #64~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 18 19:05:43 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I just got my new Dell XPS13 9350 Developer Edition with Ubuntu 14.04, and updating (and also after rebooting the first time), I see the same problems with the oem-alps-touchpad-1521052-dkms package. Somehow the build process tries to change directories to /lib/modules//build which does not exist.
