Title:
dkms ldtarball has bad exit status
Status in dkms package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
On host1 I created a tarball with the command:
dkms mktarball open-vm-tools/2011.12.20 --binaries-only
I then trasnfered it to host2 and ran2011.12.20
dkms ldtarball /tmp/open-vm-tools-2011.12.20-kernel3.2.0-24-generic-
x86_64.dkms.tar.gz
which gave the output:
Loading tarball for open-vm-tools-2011.12.20
Creating /var/lib/dkms/open-vm-tools/2011.12.20/source
Copying dkms.conf to /var/lib/dkms/open-vm-tools/2011.12.20/source...
Loading /var/lib/dkms/open-vm-tools/2011.12.20/3.2.0-24-generic/x86_64...
DKMS: ldtarball completed.
But the exit status says that it failed:
echo $?
1
Which creates problems when trying to script module installation.
