Package: dkms
Version: 2.2.0.3-1.2
Severity: minor
Dear Maintainer,
Please consider adding a dependency on lsb-release for dkms, either Depends or
Recommends.
DKMS uses the lsb_release command to determine what distribution is running.
Based on that it chooses different installation paths for installed kernel
drivers.
If the lsb-release package is installed, drivers are installed to
/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/updates/dkms
If the lsb-release package is not installed, drivers are installed to whatever
path the specific driver specifies in its dkms.conf.
Either way the system works, but is not consistent from one installation to the
next if lsb-release is added or removed. Nothing is broken, I'm just hoping to
fix this inconsistency.
Another alternative would be to patch dkms to have a distro_version_deb
function analogous to the existing distro_version_rpm function.
Thanks,
