I have reviewed the update_excuses failures and none of them should block the release of 'dkms'.
The following failures can be hinted by the kernel team: Focal: - nvidia-graphics-drivers-390/390.141-0ubuntu0.20.04.1: the armhf regression was caused by a kernel patch and not by the new dkms upload. - virtualbox-hwe/6.1.16-dfsg-6ubuntu1.20.04.1: virtualbox is not expected to work for non-x86 arches. - west-chamber/20100405+svn20111107.r124-12: this is a known failure and it's being handled on bug 1912783. Groovy: - nvidia-graphics-drivers-390/390.141-0ubuntu0.20.10.1: same as in Focal. - virtualbox-hwe/6.1.16-dfsg-6ubuntu1.20.10.1: same as in Focal. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to dkms in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1915051 Title: dkms-autopkgtest: Also select binary packages that depends on dkms for testing Status in dkms package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Status in dkms source package in Focal: Fix Committed Status in dkms source package in Groovy: Fix Committed Status in dkms source package in Hirsute: Fix Committed Bug description: [Impact] The current version of dkms-autopkgtest in 20.04 and later only selects binary packages with names ending with "-dkms" for its automatic DKMS test. With that packages suchs bcml-kernel-source and nvidia drivers are not being tested automatically by autopkgtest. [Test Case] Run autopkgtest in Focal for bcmwl-kernel-source (6.30.223.271+bdcom- 0ubuntu5) and the 5.8 kernel and even with this version of the driver failing to build with the 5.8 kernel, the test succeeds. The expected behavior, is that that dkms-autopkgtest should fail in this case. [Where problems could occur] The main issue that we can have here is selecting additional packages for the DKMS test that are not DKMS packages.
