Ohai, since some time, dkms started to archive existing modules if you install a <something>-dkms package that ships an updated version of the module, for example tp-smapi-dkms shipping hdaps.ko This leads to the fact that once tp-smapi-dkms is installed, debsums (and thus piuparts [1]), complains that the linux-image package is missing a file (which is technically correct, dkms moved it away): root@system:~# apt install tp-smapi-dkms … Installing /lib/modules/6.12.33+deb13-amd64/updates/dkms/thinkpad_ec.ko.xz Installing /lib/modules/6.12.33+deb13-amd64/updates/dkms/tp_smapi.ko.xz Found pre-existing /lib/modules/6.12.33+deb13-amd64/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/hdaps.ko.xz, archiving for uninstallation Installing /lib/modules/6.12.33+deb13-amd64/updates/dkms/hdaps.ko.xz root@system:~# debsums --silent debsums: missing file /usr/lib/modules/6.12.33+deb13-amd64/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/hdaps.ko.xz (from linux-image-6.12.33+deb13-amd64 package) Given dkms (on Debian) installs modules to …/updates/dkms/ (so /lib/modules/6.12.33+deb13-amd64/updates/dkms/hdaps.ko.xz), modprobe should use that module and not the in-kernel one anyway, and no archiving should be necessary? I think this behaviour is coming from [2], but didn't dig deep further to try it out.
