** Description changed: + [Impact] + + * The src:iscsitarget package was removed from 16.10 (LP: #1613758). + + * Therefore, the iscsitarget-dkms package is no longer tested with + 16.10+ kernels to ensure it still compiles. + + * The HWE stacks for 16.04 backport the 16.10+ kernels to 16.04.x. + + * End users who successfully built the iscistarget driver on 16.04.0/1 + kernels (4.4.0-*) will see failures with the HWE kernels. + + * iscsitarget and iscsitarget-dkms packages are not technically needed + on 16.04 at all. There is an iSCSI target driver in the upstream kernel + and the iscistarget tooling can be replaced with tgt. + + [Test Case] + + * Install iscsitarget-dkms while having the 16.04.2 headers installed. + The module build will fail (and apport if on a desktop will attempt to + submit a bug report). + + * In the fixed case, iscsitarget-dkms will see the specified kernel is + not supported by the regex and will skip attempting to build. + + [Regression Potential] + + * Currently, the iscsitarget-dkms throws an error. The error is + actually in the use of iscsitarget-dkms at all with newer kernels, and + hopefully if end-users depend on it and see the 'skipped' message, they + will come to this bug via the changelog. I do not believe there is any + regression potential, as I have tested that 4.4.0-* kernels still build + the dkms module fine and that all other 16.04 kernel families skip it. + + --- + I am unable to build the iscsitarget DKMS module on a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS.
