Public bug reported: Binary package hint: dkms
I was experiencing a problem trying to install virtualbox that reminded me of a very similar problem with the nvidia driver package. Some errors indicated that dkms failed while trying to find a directory named "-a". I tracked this down to a problem with /usr/lib/dkms/common.postinst. I've attached the diff that fixed my virtualbox-ose-dkms problems. ** Affects: dkms (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/785937 Title: $ARCH in common.postinst breaks everything -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
