Package: zfs-dkms Version: 2.3.2-2 Severity: important X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear Maintainer, I recently made a fresh install of Trixie amd64, and after applying all updates attempted to install zfs-dkms. Installation succeeds, but it does not seem to attempt to build any DKMS modules, as a result of which the modules obviously can't be loaded and ZFS filesystems can't be mounted. During installation I get this output: mbp@bobcat:~$ sudo apt reinstall zfs-dkms Summary: Upgrading: 0, Installing: 0, Reinstalling: 1, Removing: 0, Not Upgrading: 0 Download size: 2452 kB Space needed: 0 B / 1552 GB available Get:1 http://deb.debian.org/debian trixie/contrib amd64 zfs-dkms all 2.3.2-2 [2452 kB] Fetched 2452 kB in 0s (8158 kB/s) Preconfiguring packages ...

After some investigation it seems the problem is that I didn't have the kernel headers installed, and `/usr/lib/dkms/common.postinst` in this case decides to do nothing. Manually installing linux-headers-amd64 and then reinstalling zfs-dkms fixes it. I'd like to suggest two changes: 1. Maybe the postinst script (or some part of the zfs-dkms install chain?) should fail if no modules can be built? This script seems unchanged from the upstream https://github.com/dell/dkms/blob/main/dkms_common.postinst.in so perhaps I should suggest it there? 2. Maybe Debian's zfs-dkms (or dkms itself?) should depend upon or at least recommend linux-headers? (I can't believe I'm the first to hit this so perhaps there's some strong reason why it does not?)
