Hi,

Using current tp-smapi through dkms results in:

Even after clean successful rebuild the error remains

dkms itself is not the culprit here.  you're running an experimental
kernel, and the tp-smapi module source may not be compatible with that
yet.

Actually the problem is a bit dkms related. ;)
[thus adding pkg-dkms-maint to CC]

I am running linux-image-2.6.35-trunk-amd64
2.6.35-1~experimental.3 and tp-smapi works fine, but I had exactly your
problem before. At some point, the kernel changed ABI, without bumping
the package-name (that does happen with the experimental kernels). Thus
the modules built for the older version of the ABI are not loadable any
more, despite being marked as built for the correct kernel.

What happens on dpkg-reconfigure tp-smapi-dkms?
dkms is called to uninstall tp-smapi, then again to build and install.
For some reason it did not for you.
Could you please share
/var/lib/dkms/tp-smapi/0.40/2.6.35-trunk-amd64/x86_64/log/make.log
Also the output of dkms status -m tp-smapi please.

Now to pkg-dkms, is my usage of version here maybe wrong? should I use
0.40-8 (thus incl the debian revision). Or I think I should just switch
to dh_dkms :)

Regards
Evgeni

in all the cases i've seen, the upstream version number is used, and
that is expected to work as long as you don't make binary incompatible
changes in your packaging.  hence, your approach is correct in 99.9% of
situations.

not sure how you're doing things right now, but you are probably better
off using dh_dkms.
