[Bug 1261116] Re: dkms uninstall fails unexpectedly without error message

 

I sponsored the precise SRU. Please set up the bug description according
to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure (add test
case, regression potential).

I strongly suggest to set raring/saucy to WONTFIX, I don't think the
cost/benefit ratio is high enough on these short-lived releases.

Unsubscribing sponsors as there is nothing else to sponsor at the
moment.

Bug description:
  When trying to uninstall a (customly built) DKMS module using "dkms
  uninstall -m my_module -v 1.1" dkms fails with exit code 1 and doesn't
  print an error message.

  The problem occurs with the invocation of the function
  "have_one_kernel" in the /usr/sbin/dkms script. This function doesn't
  evaluate to 0 as it should, when all conditions are met (as with the
  command specified above).

  The commands
  "dkms uninstall -m my_module -v 1.1 --all"
  and
  "dkms uninstall -m my_module -v 1.1 -k 3.2.0-57 -k 3.5.0-44"
  fail as expected with the resp. error messages and exit codes in function "have_one_kernel".
