Package: dkms Version: 2.6.1-3 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate *** * What led up to the situation? When attempting to install virtualbox-guest-x11, I noticed headers for the pae kernel being pulled in, my virtualbox installation does not support PAE/NX enabled guests. So I backtracked which package was pulling the pae headers in as a depend. It turns out to be dkms. I tried installing the correct headers ahead of time, but they were ignored. I note on the package page that linux-headers-686 are not listed as a possibilty to satisfy the depend. Once I finish this report I'll be seeing if I can modify the control locally to permit linux-headers-686 to be acceptable, or else use equivs to fake the package into thinking the right headers are actually the wrong ones dkms thinks it wants. I was quite surprised not to see linux-headers-686 listed as well as 686-pae on the package information page. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=: (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages dkms depends on: ii build-essential 12.5 ii coreutils 8.30-1 ii dpkg-dev 1.19.2 ii gcc 4:8.2.0-2 ii kmod 25-2 ii make 4.2.1-1.2 ii patch 2.7.6-3 Versions of packages dkms recommends: ii fakeroot 1.23-1 pn linux-headers-686-pae | linux-headers-amd64 | linux-headers- <none> ii lsb-release 10.2018112800 ii sudo 1.8.26-2 Versions of packages dkms suggests: pn menu <none> pn python3-apport <none>
