In the error case… a message easily overlooked. No prompt either, but Policy says not to, in most cases, so that’s okay, it’s not a module whose absence will prevent rebooting. I find this UI… rather contrary to good design. -- System Information: Debian Release: 10.12 APT prefers oldstable-updates APT policy: (500, 'oldstable-updates'), (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-20-amd64 (SMP w/3 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/lksh Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages dkms depends on: ii build-essential 12.6 ii coreutils 8.30-3 ii dpkg-dev 1.19.7 ii gcc 4:8.3.0-1 ii kmod 26-1 ii make 4.2.1-1.2 ii patch 2.7.6-3+deb10u1 Versions of packages dkms recommends: ii fakeroot 1.23-1 ii linux-headers-amd64 4.19+105+deb10u15 ii lsb-release 10.2019051400 ii sudo 1.8.27-1+deb10u3 Versions of packages dkms suggests: ii menu 2.1.47+b1 pn python3-apport <none> -- Configuration Files: /etc/dkms/framework.conf changed: autoinstall_all_kernels=1 -- no debconf information
