Package: dkms Version: 2.6.1-4 Severity: important User: de...@kali.org Usertags: origin-kali
While working on automatic installation of virtualbox-guest-dkms in debian-installer when running in VirtualBox VM, I have discovered that the package installation would break debian installer. The reason is that "dkms install" runs this: find /sys/devices -name modalias -print0 | xargs -0 cat | xargs modprobe -a -b -q This will load the newly built modules but possibly also other modules... and the fact that those modules get loaded, somehow breaks the X server run by debian-installer. This "feature" is new in buster compared to stretch. It would be nice to have a way to disable this automatic loading... ideally an environment variable makes it easy to disable this from debian-installer without having to modify the target system. But a command line option (and/or an entry in the configuration file) is certainly a good idea as well. And it would be even better if it could just do its work on the modules that the "dkms install" actually installed.
