[Pkg-dkms-maint] Bug#859888: Impossible to install a kernel module for a specific kernel version in a clean manner

Sat Apr 8 17:00:44 UTC 2017

Package: dkms
Version: 2.2.0.3-2
Architecture: all

Hello,

the script /usr/lib/dkms/dkms_autoinstaller includes the following command in line 42:

dkms autoinstall --kernelver $kernel .

This does not allow to install modules for a specific/exclusive kernel version and ignores the list of kernel versions set in /usr/lib/dkms/common.postinst . Having a look at the man page or the online help of dkms, you see that dkms command autoinstall does not accept any further option(s). Is this behaviour intended or a mistake?

Best greetings

Sebastian Kraus
