Title: dkms uninstall fails unexpectedly without error message Status in “dkms” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “dkms” source package in Precise: Fix Released Status in “dkms” source package in Quantal: Won't Fix Status in “dkms” source package in Raring: New Status in “dkms” source package in Saucy: New Status in “dkms” source package in Trusty: Fix Released Status in “dkms” package in Debian: Fix Committed Bug description: [Impact] This bug makes it impossible to uninstall DKMS modules. When trying to uninstall a DKMS module using "dkms uninstall -m my_module -v 1.1" dkms fails with exit code 1 and doesn't print an error message. The commands "dkms uninstall -m my_module -v 1.1 --all" and "dkms uninstall -m my_module -v 1.1 -k 3.2.0-57 -k 3.5.0-44" fail as expected with the resp. error messages and exit codes in function "have_one_kernel". The proposed patch is a backport from upstream. [Test Case] A test script has been added in comment https://bugs.launchpad.net/debian/+source/dkms/+bug/1261116/comments/8. To reproduce the bug: 1. Take any dkms package. 2. Copy the package into the dkms src folder /usr/src/<package_name>-<package_version>. <package_name> and <package_version> can be found in dkms.conf in the package. 3. Add the dkms module: dkms add -m <package_name> -v <package_version> 4. Build the dkms module: dkms build -m <package_name> -v <package_version> 5. Install the dkms module: dkms install -m <package_name> -v <package_version> 6. Try to uninstall the dkms module: dkms uninstall -m <package_name> -v <package_version> Here, dkms fails with exit code 1 and without emitting an error message. [Regression Potential] All client code that uses the "dkms uninstall" command and relies on it failing is a candidate for regression.
