Summary
I recently upgraded from Ubuntu 20.04 to 22.04, and ever since then, I have been unable to install the kernel headers without an error. Originally, I had errors from missing flex and bison. After manually installing those, I've run into the error below, which I am unable to resolve.
Error
Trying to install linux-headers-5.15.0-47-generic (and several older versions) fails with a bad return status from make during the dkms module build.
Apt says to check the make log, which has the following error:
No rule to make target 'arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_32.tbl',
needed by 'arch/x86/include/generated/uapi/asm/unistd_32.h'
Full apt output
$ sudo apt install --reinstall linux-headers-$(uname -r)
