Well, this is an issue reported against DKMS package in particular distro: Ubuntu. Not against DKMS as such. It happens on development version of Ubuntu for a long time, can't say how long exactly. Apparently, issue is present since 2011 and is triggered under certain conditions.
>From my understanding the problem is in Ubuntu's DKMS package, since regardless of actual module being compiled I always get the same issue. It might be some hook error or something else, but when I update Ubuntu's native kernel while having VirtualBox installed from Ubuntu's native repository, DKMS should compile kernel modules without issues automatically, but currently it doesn't. If that is not an issue in DKMS package, which is possible, then mark it as affecting another relevant package, but there is something going on wrong that should be fixed and people are suffering from it (71 marked as affected as of right now). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/830915 Title: Error during kernel upgrade: Could not locate dkms.conf file To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dkms/+bug/830915/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
