Public bug reported: When kernel header packages (linux*-headers) are installed/upgraded, all installed DKMS modules are rebuilt. Currently, if any of that rebuild fails, a bug if filed for the kernel header package which is incorrect.
There are two different scenarios, both of which are not kernel problems: 1) An official DKMS package from the Ubuntu archive fails to build -> A bug should be raised for that DKMS package. 2) An unsupported DKMS package fails to build -> No bug should be filed, but ideally the user should be made aware of the situation. An example invalid bug is bug 2067015. ** Affects: apport (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Summary changed: - DKMS build failures are not filed + DKMS build failures are not filed correctly ** Description changed: When kernel header packages (linux*-headers) are installed/upgraded, all - installed DKMS modules are rebuilt.
