Package: dkms
Version: 2.3-3
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
For a custom-built linux-image package, the package's "prerm" script (that was
output by "scripts/package/builddeb" in the Linux kernel sources) runs the
/etc/kernel/prerm.d/* scripts regardless of the package operation type, which
may result in dkms losing its list of added modules prematurely. This is
unlike the "prerm" script in Debian's own linux-image packages, which checks
that the package operation type is "remove" before running the
/etc/kernel/prerm.d/* scripts.
In particular, the /etc/kernel/prerm.d/dkms script will remove dkms modules
completely if they are not needed by any other kernels, causing dkms to forget
its list of modules to be built when a kernel is installed. This is a problem
when reinstalling a custom linux-image package (or upgrading to a custom linux-
image package whose version differs only in the Debian package revision number)
when that is the only Linux kernel installed, because the system is left in a
state with none of the previous dkms modules installed.
I filed a bug upstream at https://github.com/dell/dkms/issues/37 but I was
unsure at the time whether it should be classed as an upstream bug. I
presently do not consider it to be an upstream bug, or rather it is an issue
that has already been fixed upstream in dkms 2.4 (see yuzaipiaofei's comment
https://github.com/dell/dkms/issues/37#issuecomment-348067214 on 30 Nov 2017).
That fix involved a change to the dkms "uninstall" functionality and a change
to the upstream "kernel_prerm.d_dkms" script upon which Debian's
"/etc/kernel/prerm.d/dmks" script is based.
This may be related to bug #621846, but that one is about 7 years old.

Closes: 621846 660043 736803 894250 1034013 1040401 1052243 1056949
Changes:
dkms (3.0.12-2) experimental; urgency=medium
.
* Cherry-pick upstream patches:
- Use 'unbuild' instead of 'remove' in kernel prerm script to keep the
modules in 'added' state. (Closes: #621846, #894250)
- Document MOK key *and* cert recreation behavior if MOK key *or* cert is
missing. (Closes: #1052243)
* kernel/header_postinst.d hook: On header upgrades w/o package name change,
'unbuild' all 'autoinstall'ed modules built against the old version first
to ensure they get rebuilt against the upgraded headers on the next
'autoinstall'. (Closes: #1040401, #1034013)
* common.postinst: Only build AUTOINSTALL="yes" modules on installation.
* Clean up obsolete /etc/kernel/install.d/dkms, renamed to 40-dkms.install.
(Closes: #1056949)
* postinst: Clean up modules with empty $arch from dkms tree. (Cf. #1036033)
* postinst: Clean up dangling source links from dkms tree. (LP: #830915)
* dh_dkms: Strip epoch from upstream version. (Closes: #660043)
* dh_dkms: Error out on invalid package versions.
* dh_dkms: Always substitute #MODULE_VERSION#. (Closes: #736803)
* Add dkms-noautoinstall-test-dkms package with a trivial kernel module for
dkms tests.
* Add autopkgtests using dkms-noautoinstall-test-dkms.
* Upload to experimental.
