Public bug reported:
In the Oneiric version of dkms, you cannot run this command:
/usr/sbin/dkms mkdeb --source-only --no-prepare-kernel --no-clean-kernel
--dkmstree /tmp/dkms-packaging/buildroot/build --sourcetree /tmp/dkms-
packaging/buildroot/src --installtree /tmp/dkms-
packaging/buildroot/install -m alsa-hda -v 0.1
This is because the tree path matches "build". Looking at the code,
this seems to be added intentionally, but to me it is clearly a
regression and I see no reason for putting such restrictions on the
code.
E g, if my name was Harp Mason I can't even build anything in my home
directory /home/harpmason, because that contains the string "rpm". That
does not make sense to me.
