[Pkg-dkms-maint] Bug#657145: dkms: leaves unowned empty directores, e.g. /lib/modules/$KVERS/updates, after removal

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: dkms
Version: 2.2.0.3-1
Severity: important
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts

Hi,

there are several packages failing the piuparts test because unowned
directories are left on the system. These directories were created by
dkms when a kernel module was built and installed.

An example from
http://piuparts.debian.org/sid/fail/west-chamber-dkms_20100405+svn20110916.r119-1.log

2m15.4s ERROR: FAIL: Package purging left files on system:
  /lib/modules/3.1.0-1-amd64	 owned by: linux-headers-3.1.0-1-amd64
  /lib/modules/3.1.0-1-amd64/updates	 not owned

or from
http://piuparts.debian.org/sid/fail/blktap-dkms_2.0.91-1.log

0m46.0s ERROR: FAIL: Package purging left files on system:
  /lib/modules/3.1.0-1-amd64	 owned by: linux-headers-3.1.0-1-amd64
  /lib/modules/3.1.0-1-amd64/extra	 not owned
  /lib/modules/3.1.0-1-amd64/kernel	 not owned

All these tests are done in a minimal chroot with some kernel headers
installed but usually no kernel installed.

Testing more intensively by always installing kernel headers even if the
*-dkms package does not depend on them makes all *-dkms packages fail
the piuparts test.

Cheers,

Andreas
