I ran into this same problem but I see it this way.  As you have 
multiple kernels installed, as many of us do, the old kernel still 
needs the old module.  As the old kernel needs the old module, it 
cannot be removed with an update.  The new module needs to be 
installed, not updated if you want to keep the old kernels installed. 
 Or delete the old module first.  This is what I did on my computer.
