Title:
dkms postinst should handle missing headers
Status in dkms package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
In the kernel post-install script of DKMS we have the following:
if [ -x /usr/lib/dkms/dkms_autoinstaller ]; then
exec /usr/lib/dkms/dkms_autoinstaller start $inst_kern > /dev/null
fi
if ! _check_kernel_dir $inst_kern ; then
echo "dkms: WARNING: $kernel headers are missing, which may explain the above failures." >&2
echo " please install the $header_pkg package to fix this." >&2
fi
Supposedly the intention is to produce a warning if the kernel-headers
are missing (might also cause the overall exit code to be 0). But
execution of this script stops and is replaced by the
dkms_autoinstaller when using exec. So it probably should be:
if [ -x /usr/lib/dkms/dkms_autoinstaller ]; then
if ! /usr/lib/dkms/dkms_autoinstaller start $inst_kern > /dev/null; then
if !_check_kernel_dir $inst_kern ; then
...
