Package: dkms Version: 3.0.13-1 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: deb...@gendalph.net
Hello, It appears that in Trixie package `dkms` no longer recommends `linux-headers-*` packages, which leads to newer kernels not having headers installed, which in turn leads to DKMS being unable to build kernel modules. I have encountered this issue with `zfs-dkms`, and although I have caught it before reboot, installed and built the kernel module, I still forgot to run `update-initramfs -u` and got an unbootable system. While I see this change had a good reason behind it, it has introduced a different issue - I expect a bunch of systems to now end up without headers to build modules. Maybe it makes sense to recommend installing the correct header package after install of DKMS or introduce a check that would throw/log a warning if no headers are found?
