Package: dkms
Version: 2.6.1-4
Severity: important
User: [email protected]
Usertags: origin-kali
While working on automatic installation of virtualbox-guest-dkms in
debian-installer when running in VirtualBox VM, I have discovered
that the package installation would break debian installer.
The reason is that "dkms install" runs this:
find /sys/devices -name modalias -print0 | xargs -0 cat | xargs modprobe -a -b
-q
This will load the newly built modules but possibly also other modules...
and the fact that those modules get loaded, somehow breaks the
X server run by debian-installer.
This "feature" is new in buster compared to stretch. It would be nice to
have a way to disable this automatic loading... ideally an environment
variable makes it easy to disable this from debian-installer without
having to modify the target system. But a command line option (and/or an
entry in the configuration file) is certainly a good idea as well.
And it would be even better if it could just do its work on the modules
that the "dkms install" actually installed.
Cheers,
