[Pkg-dkms-maint] Bug#583580: dkms: does not build modules for all installed kernels

[Andrei Popescu]

Package: dkms
Version: 2.1.1.2-2
Severity: normal

Hello,

As you can see below I have a lot of kernels (and corresponding headers) 
installed. However, dkms built the nvidia module only for 2.6.29-2- and 
2.6.32-5-. If I recall correctly I was running 2.6.29-2- when I 
installed the new nvidia-kernel-dkms package.

Shouldn't dkms build the module for all installed kernels by default?

Regards,
Andrei
