Hi Andreas,

Please bump the dkms dependency for bullseye, this issue can trigger on

Should that patch really close this bug report? IIRC you didn't close
all these bug reports with the dkms patch. Was this in anticipation of
this version bumping
Yes, as it will avoid broken combinations ;-)
or do you still want us to get upstream to do it
"right" (whatever exactly that would be).
I don't know a generic way to get the kernel compiler from the headers,
i.e. something that would also work for e.g. vanilla kernels. Thus I
know of no upstreamable solution.
I find it still curious that it worked for iptables-netflow-dkms out of
the box in buster with gcc-8 but no gcc installed.

PS: I don't do forced module compile tests for upgrades in piuparts due
to too many failures (extra kernel headers are only installed while
testing a -dkms package within a distro), but if the package
dependencies pull in the headers, well, we are building modules ;-)
