This bug was fixed in the package dkms - 2.3-3ubuntu1
---------------
dkms (2.3-3ubuntu1) zesty; urgency=medium
* 0013-postinst-Fix-newest-kernel-detection.patch: dkms_common.postinst: We
were passing a list of kernels to get_newest_kernel(), when it expected a
single kernel as its first argument - the currently running kernel. This
in turn meant that the sometimes (if the first thing in the list was
itself the newest kernel), the wrong kernel was passed into
_get_newest_kernel_debian(). As a result this falsely reported that there
was no 'newest' kernel available and then didn't build modules for it.
Drop the parameter to get_newest_kernel(), and instead rely on
CURRENT_KERNEL being set to $(uname -r). (LP: #1681566)

Bug description:
When upgrading from 16.10 to 17.04 using `update-manager -d`, the
`nvidia-375` DKMS modules are not compiled for the new kernel.
The result is that the user must run `apt install --reinstall
nvidia-375` and reboot.
To reproduce this:
- Clean install of 16.10 on a system with NVIDIA graphics
- Install `nvidia-375`
- Run `update-manager -d`, complete all steps, then reboot
- You will be unable to login until running `apt install --reinstall
nvidia-375`
