We had a discussion about where would be the proper fix for this issue at https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-team/2012-March/019502.html, and the conclusion was basically to remove the linux-headers from dkms recommends list:
Recommends: fakeroot, menu | sudo, linux-headers-generic-pae | linux-headers-686-pae | linux-headers-amd64 | linux-headers-generic | linux-headers, linux-image The dkms driver should by default depend on the kernel already, so there's indeed no need to have them as recommends. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of TI OMAP Developers, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/960770 Title: Packages requiring dkms at Pandaboard (omap 4) will also pull linux- headers-generic because current dkms dependencies Status in “dkms” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “linux-ti-omap4” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: The PowerVR SGX kernel module package for Pandaboard depends on linux- headers-omap4 (headers package for the Omap 4 based kernel) and DKMS, but when installing the package DKMS will also pull linux-headers- generic, forcing the module build to happen with both kernel headers package, besides wasting quite a few extra megabytes.
