Package: acpi-call-dkms Version: 1.1.0-5 Severity: serious Tags: patch ftbfs Justification: fails to build from source
Dear Maintainer, Building modules for kernel 5.6.0-1-amd64 fails with error: passing argument 4 of ‘proc_create’ from incompatible pointer type [...] expected ‘const struct proc_ops *’ but argument is of type ‘struct file_operations *’ This seems to be due to a kernel change from earlier this year: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/97a32539b9568bb653683349e5a76d02ff3c3e2c It can be naively be fixed by applying the changes suggested in that commit, in acpi_call.c:321 changing : static struct file_operations proc_acpi_operations = { .owner = THIS_MODULE, .read = acpi_proc_read, .write = acpi_proc_write, }; to static struct proc_ops proc_acpi_operations={ .proc_read = acpi_proc_read, .proc_write = acpi_proc_write, }; Which seems to fix the build for 5.6. It probably breaks it for kernels older than 5.6, so it would need some conditionals. -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'oldstable-updates'), (500, 'stable'), (500, 'oldstable'), (50, 'experimental'), (50, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.6.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_IE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_IE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_IE:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages acpi-call-dkms depends on: ii dkms 2.8.1-5 acpi-call-dkms recommends no packages. acpi-call-dkms suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- debsums errors found: debsums: changed file /usr/src/acpi-call-1.1.0/acpi_call.c (from acpi-call-dkms package)
