Package: dkms Version: 2.2.0.2-1~bpo60+1 Severity: normal
I'm using zfs-dkms and spl-dkms packages to automatically build zfs modules for any new kernel. Thanks to combination of two bugs: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=629245 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=635563 I was unable to build spl and zfs modules when relevant -dkms packages got upgraded from 0.6.0.98 to 0.6.1. My recovery from this problem would be much much easier, if dkms wouldn't simply *remove* old modules (generated earlier from old version of {zfs,spl}-dksm packages), but rather back them up somewhere. Granted, ideally I should be able to pull the modules out from backup. Given how big the compiled modules are, I think it'd be completely reasonable if dkms kept a copy of them. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.7 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.8.4 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_IE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=pl_PL.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages dkms depends on: ii build-essential 11.5 Informational list of build-essent ii coreutils 8.5-1 GNU core utilities ii dpkg-dev 1.15.8.13 Debian package development tools ii gcc 4:4.4.5-1 The GNU C compiler ii make 3.81-8 An utility for Directing compilati ii module-init-tools 3.12-2 tools for managing Linux kernel mo ii patch 2.6-2 Apply a diff file to an original Versions of packages dkms recommends: ii fakeroot 1.14.4-1 Gives a fake root environment ii linux-headers-2.6-am 2.6.32+29 Header files for Linux 2.6-amd64 ( ii linux-headers-2.6.32 2.6.32-48squeeze1 Header files for Linux 2.6.32-5-am ii linux-headers-3.8.4 yacoob.20130327 Header files related to Linux kern ii linux-image-2.6.32-5 2.6.32-48squeeze1 Linux 2.6.32 for 64-bit PCs ii linux-image-3.8.4 [l yacoob.20130327 Linux kernel binary image for vers ii sudo 1.7.4p4-2.squeeze.4 Provide limited super user privile dkms suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
