Title:
dkms mkdeb fails: Can't find package
Status in dkms package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in dkms source package in Artful:
New
Status in dkms package in Debian:
Fix Released
Bug description:
For some reason, the Debian version of dkms mkdeb tries to generate a
.deb package with the current arch as a suffix in its name, instead of
'all'. However, since the control file wasn't properly set up, the
.deb file will have the 'all' suffix and dkms mkdeb will fail.
This bug is also present in Ubuntu. I added a patch to the original
Debian bug report, here:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=832558
but since the original bug report was made about a year ago and nobody
cared, I'm hoping that someone will at least fix this for Ubuntu.
The patch looks like this:
