Subject: reports about missing 'kernel source', but needs kernel headers

Date: Thu, 18 Oct 2012 19:04:07 +0200

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

Package: dkms
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

Hi,

When running dkms on one system I got the message:
"Module build for the currently running kernel was skipped since the
kernel source for this kernel does not seem to be installed."

I did in fact have the appropriate linux-source package installed;
what was missing was the linux-headers package which provides the
dir that this test checks for. The attached patch clarifies that
in the error message.


Cheers,
Thijs
