Package: dkms
Version: 2.3-2

Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 4.9.0-3-amd64 (x86_64)

To:  819772 at bugs.debian.org - this bounced

According to this (819772 at bugs.debian.org), the bug report is closed -- it seems not
to be dead.

Just tried to upgrade amd64 to latest stretch version and get the same failure in
/etc/kernel/header_postinst.d/dkms:
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 4.9.0-3-amd64 (x86_64)

Consult /var/lib/dkms/fglrx/15.9/build/make.log for more information.

---------------------
ok!  Where do we go from here??

lspci:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Caicos [Radeon HD 6450/7450/8450 / R5 230 OEM]

Can we return to using private amd/ati fglrx driver?

Any suggestions?

Thank you.
