Subject: dkms is missing a dependency on debhelper

Date: Fri, 13 Aug 2010 15:40:15 +0200

Package: dkms
Version: 2.1.1.2-4
Severity: important

Hello,

I use dkms to build the nvidia module.
I issued this command:
# dkms --all mkdeb -m nvidia -v 195.36.24

dkms exited with an error because dh_testdir is not found.

Complete execution log:

   [ Michael Gilbert ]
   * [430b97f] Fix logging for compound make statements (closes: #577972)
     - Thanks to Anders Kaseorg!
   * [935ae61] Check for debhelper when using 'dkms mkdeb' (closes: #592863)
   * [e739e8c] fixup logging patch
 .
   [ Giuseppe Iuculano ]
   * [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
