Control: severity -1 serious Control: retitle -1 dkms autoinstall fails if headers are not available but a module could be built
error logic in dkms autoinstall is flawed: * install some-dkms * edit dkms.conf to contain AUTOINSTALL="yes" BUILD_EXCLUSIVE_ARCH="none" * install some linux-headers-* package, which triggers dkms autoinstall Setting up linux-headers-6.1.0-3-amd64 (6.1.8-1) ... /etc/kernel/header_postinst.d/dkms: dkms: running auto installation service for kernel 6.1.0-3-amd64:Sign command: /usr/lib/linux-kbuild-6.1/scripts/sign-file Signing key: /var/lib/dkms/mok.key Public certificate (MOK): /var/lib/dkms/mok.pub Certificate or key are missing, generating self signed certificate for MOK... Error! The /var/lib/dkms/bbswitch/0.8/6.1.0-3-amd64/x86_64/dkms.conf for module bbswitch includes a BUILD_EXCLUSIVE directive which does not match this kernel/arch/config. This indicates that it should not be built. Error! One or more modules failed to install during autoinstall. Refer to previous errors for more information. failed! run-parts: /etc/kernel/header_postinst.d/dkms exited with return code 11 Failed to process /etc/kernel/header_postinst.d at /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-headers-6.1.0-3-amd64.postinst line 11. dpkg: error processing package linux-headers-6.1.0-3-amd64 (--configure): installed linux-headers-6.1.0-3-amd64 package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1 https://github.com/dell/dkms/issues/302 and we are not yet discussing whether missing headers should be a fatal error ...
