But there is another bug: The following line reads `[ -z $kernels_module ] || return 0`
Previously the related section was: if [ -z $kernels_module ]; then # Magic split into array syntax saves trivial awk and cut calls. local -a obs=(${3//-/ }) local -a my=(${1//-/ }) local obsolete=0 if [[ ${obs} && ${my} ]]; then if [[ $(VER ${obs}) == $(VER ${my}) && ! $force ]]; then # They get obsoleted possibly in this kernel release if [[ ! ${obs[1]} ]]; then # They were obsoleted in this upstream kernel obsolete=1 elif [[ $(VER ${my[1]}) > $(VER ${obs[1]}) ]]; then # They were obsoleted in an earlier ABI bump of the kernel obsolete=1 elif [[ $(VER ${my[1]}) = $(VER ${obs[1]}) ]]; then # They were obsoleted in this ABI bump of the kernel obsolete=1 fi elif [[ $(VER ${my}) > $(VER ${obs}) && ! $force ]]; then # They were obsoleted in an earlier kernel release obsolete=1 fi fi if ((obsolete == 1)); then echo $"" >&2 echo $"Module has been obsoleted due to being included" >&2 echo $"in kernel $3. We will avoid installing" >&2 echo $"for future kernels above $3." >&2 echo $"You may override by specifying --force." >&2 return 1 else return 0 fi fi See that misformatted `else`? This probably tricked the patch author. Essence is: If `[ -z $kernels_module ]` then either return with 1 or 0 depending on `obsolete`. The correct line would hence be: `[ -z $kernels_module ] && return 0` ** Also affects: dkms Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to dkms in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1838245 Title: dkms script is missing function find_module Status in DKMS: New Status in dkms package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Building a kernel module using dkms in Linux Mint 19.1 shows the following error: Running module version sanity check. /usr/sbin/dkms: Zeile 784: find_module: Befehl nicht gefunden modinfo: ERROR: missing module or filename.
