Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: dkms
Description: Ubuntu 8.10
Release: 8.10
Platform: amd64
dkms:
Installed: 2.0.20.4-0ubuntu2
Candidate: 2.0.20.4-0ubuntu2
Version table:
*** 2.0.20.4-0ubuntu2 0
500 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/main Packages

On an "ADD" event, dkms installs "MODULES_CONF" lines into /etc/modprobe.d/dkms
However, it does not remove these on an "REMOVE" event, because the dkms script
lacks a reference to /etc/modprobe.d/dkms.
The following snippets from /usr/sbin/dkms says it all:
--8<--
function moduleconfig_add ()
{
# $1 = kernel version
local temp_dir_name=`mktemp -d $tmp_location/dkms.XXXXXX`
modconfig_files=""
[ -e /etc/modprobe.d/dkms ] && modconfig_files="/etc/modprobe.d/dkms"
[ -e /etc/modules.conf ] && modconfig_files="/etc/modules.conf"
[ -e /etc/modprobe.conf ] && modconfig_files="$modconfig_files /etc/modprobe
.conf"
--8<--
--8<--
function moduleconfig_remove ()
{
# $1 = kernel version
local temp_dir_name=`mktemp -d $tmp_location/dkms.XXXXXX`
modconfig_files=""
[ -e /etc/modules.conf ] && modconfig_files="/etc/modules.conf"
[ -e /etc/modprobe.conf ] && modconfig_files="$modconfig_files
/etc/modprobe.conf"
--8<--
As you can see, the moduleconfig_remove function doesn't do anything
with /etc/modprobe.d/dkms at all.
By the way, if /etc/modules.conf exists, dkms is also completely forgotten
about. I guess that for both functions, the following should be the best
replacement code:
[ -e /etc/modprobe.d/dkms ] && modconfig_files="/etc/modprobe.d/dkms"
[ -e /etc/modules.conf ] && modconfig_files="$modconfig_files
/etc/modules.conf"
[ -e /etc/modprobe.conf ] && modconfig_files="$modconfig_files
/etc/modprobe.conf"
