Package: osmocom-dahdi-dkms
Version: 0.0~git20241003.b2ea348-3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
X-Debbugs-Cc: gag...@debian.org
Dear Maintainer,
When trying to install the osmocom-dahdi-dkms package on unstable, the
build of the modules fail. This is because the dkms.conf file in not
located in the correct location. The #MODULE_VERSION# string not being
interpreted by dh_dkms:
$ dpkg -L osmocom-dahdi-dkms

This regression seems to be coming from this commit in the salsa
repository of the source package:

Switching to the "none" buildsystem seems to prevent dh_dkms from being
run, even if it Build-Depends on dh-sequence-dkms.
One simple solution to this problem that I have experimented locally is
to pass the "--with dkms" option to dh in the debian/rules file:

Since "dh-sequence-dkms" is broken for this usecase, maybe the
Build-Depends should also be switched from "dh-sequence-dkms" to
"dh-dkms" if it is accepted.
After applying this patch the dkms.conf file is correctly located with
the source files in ./usr/src/osmocom-dahdi-0.0~git20241003.b2ea348/,
showing that dh_dkms was able to substitute the value correctly.
I will attach a patch to this bug, as well as create a merge request on
the salsa repository, as soon as I get back the bug number from the BTS.
Thanks.
