Your 'wl' issue is a red herring, that package is a mail client for
Emacs, not a driver. broadcom-sta-dkms failed to build, if you read the
final line of output it advises you on your next course of action:
"Consult /var/lib/dkms/broadcom-sta/6.30.223.248/build/make.log for
more information."
My guess is that it has problems with the newer kernel, but without
that file it's impossible to say why it failed to build. Another guess
would be that you haven't installed the kernel headers, which are
required to build that package.
AFAICT a 4.1 kernel isn't (and shouldn't be, AIUI) in the Jessie repos,
you might be better off running a supported one.
