Package: dkms Version: 2.1.0.1-1 Severity: wishlist Hi DKMS team,
(This is a little follow-up bug for #553542.) I've been playing with dkms to see how it will help us get rid of the horribleness that is linux-modules-extra. | Setting up openafs-modules-dkms (1.4.11+dfsg-4) ... | | Creating symlink /var/lib/dkms/openafs/1.4.11/source -> | /usr/src/openafs-1.4.11 | | DKMS: add Completed. | | Error! Your kernel source for kernel 2.6.30-2-686 cannot be found at | /lib/modules/2.6.30-2-686/build or /lib/modules/2.6.30-2-686/source. | You can use the --kernelsourcedir option to tell DKMS where it's located. The above error message is pretty helpful already, but could be improved slightly when dkms is detecting it's running on debian-style distros: It should maybe point the user to install the "linux-headers-<version>" package, as that's all that is required (no full source). In any case, s/Your kernel source/Your kernel headers/ might be a good idea.
