Subject: openafs-modules-dkms: Diagnostics on dkms build failure not helpful

Date: Thu, 15 Apr 2010 18:54:30 +0200

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: openafs-modules-dkms
Version: 1.4.11+dfsg-6
Severity: normal

Hi!

Note that this report is about the unhelpful diagnostics, not about the build
failure itself.  I suspekt the latter has been reportet already, but I'll
check after this report.

When installing openafs-modules-dkms dkms fails to build the module:
======================================================================
Setting up openafs-modules-dkms (1.4.11+dfsg-6) ...

------------------------------
Deleting module version: 1.4.11
completely from the DKMS tree.
------------------------------
Done.

Creating symlink /var/lib/dkms/openafs/1.4.11/source ->
                 /usr/src/openafs-1.4.11

DKMS: add Completed.

Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel.  Skipping...

Building module:

./configure --with-linux-kernel-headers=/lib/modules/2.6.32-3-amd64/build && make && mv src/libafs/MODLOAD-*/openafs.ko ..........................(bad exit status: 2)

Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 2.6.32-3-amd64 (x86_64)
Consult the make.log in the build directory

dpkg: error processing openafs-modules-dkms (--configure):

Errors were encountered while processing:
 openafs-modules-dkms
======================================================================

I would expect more information in
/var/lib/dkms/openafs/1.4.11/build/make.log, however, that file consists of
only two lines:
======================================================================
DKMS make.log for openafs-1.4.11 for kernel 2.6.32-3-amd64 (x86_64)
Thu Apr 15 18:47:08 CEST 2010
======================================================================
I would expect the output of configure in that file.

Thanks,
Jö.

For the build failure, please try openafs-modules-dkms from unstable.
There are tons of bug fixes over the version in squeeze at the moment.
(It's waiting for the Kerberos libraries to migrate.)

For the unclear diagnostics, I'm reassigning your bug to dkms, since
openafs-modules-dkms just delegates all of this to the dkms package using
dh_dkms.  Indeed, even in recent versions, make.log appears to be
essentially empty after a build.

   * [46cc01a] Merge from Ubuntu: Before using the current kernel we need to make
     sure that this kernel doesn't belong to the host of a chroot and we should
     also be more careful when adding kernels to the candidates list
     (LP: #602408). - Thanks to Alberto Milone
   * [313d661] Merge from Ubuntu: depend on patch instead of recommending it, if
     its missing the "patches" feature of dkms will no longer work and that will
     cause build failures (LP: #653899)  Thanks to Michael Vogt
