1. installed dkms from [1], which included the proposed patch. 2. install dkms from [2], which set OBSOLETE_BY="4.15.0-1033" , and set 'FORCE' already. from the attached message during installation, - for kernel 4.15.0-1030: line 4604 checked srcversion, but still install dkms because of 'FORCE' be set - for kernel 4.15.0-1045: line 9419 checked obsolete value, then stop install dkms.
