Package: tp-smapi-dkms
Version: 0.41-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

Installing tp-smapi-dkms on a freshly installed Debian 7 wheezy.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

I did not install linux-headers before installing tp-smapi-dkms.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

The hdaps module was not loading with the following error message:
        hdaps: supported laptop not found!
        hdaps: driver init failed (ret=-19)!

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

I expected the module to load.

Then I found a hint on ThinkWiki:
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Tp_smapi#Installation_on_Debian
> If installation seems ineffective, confirm you have the linux-headers of your
kernel installed, purge tp-smapi-dkms and reinstall.
That solved the problem. So I would suggest to add linux-headers as dependency
of the tp-smapi-dkms package.

Since the error message is a little bit misleading, this could solve some
reported problems of other people saying, "doesn't work / please support my
laptop'.

Thanks for reading my report. :-)

tp-smapi-dkms depends on dkms, dkms recommends
 linux-headers-686-pae | linux-headers-amd64 | linux-headers-generic | 
linux-headers, linux-image

so apt should have installed some headers for you. If you did disable 
installing Recommends by default, you knew what you were doing ;)

Closing the report as IMHO everything is in place as it should be.

Feel free to reopen if you think differently.
