[Pkg-dkms-maint] Bug#838674: Fails to build spl-dkms correctly

[Andras Korn]

Package: dkms
Version: 2.2.1.0+git20160527-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

the latest version of the dkms package fails to build/install spl-dkms
correctly, which then also causes subsequent builds of zfs-dkms to fail
(after a long time, because zfs-dkms attemtps to wait for spl-dkms to be
built).

The following messages are printed at the end of the spl-dkms build process:

Running the post_install script:
cp: cannot stat '/var/lib/dkms/spl/0.7.0rc1/build/spl_config.h': No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat '/var/lib/dkms/spl/0.7.0rc1/build/module/Module.symvers': No such file or directory

AFAICT this occurs with all versions of spl-dkms.

Downgrading to dkms 2.2.0.3-5 fixes the problem for me (and the above
messages don't appear).

Best regards,

Andras
