Subject: dkms: dh_dkms name and version parsing can fail silently

Date: Thu, 30 Jun 2016 14:16:17 -0400

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

Package: dkms
Version: 2.2.0.3-4
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

In some cases, the dkms file is mis-written, or the dh_dkms file
parsing is too brittle to find the package name or version.

This pair of patches should:

 (a) make dh_dkms fail explicitly when the file is unparseable, and

 (b) make the parsing slightly less brittle in cases where
     PACKAGE_VERSION and PACKAGE_NAME are unquoted.

Thanks for dh_dkms!

Regards,

       --dkg
