Title:
Header check ignore --kernelsourcedir
Status in dkms package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in dkms source package in Xenial:
Fix Released
Bug description:
In Ubuntu 16.04/Xenial the dkms command (2.2.0.3-2ubuntu11.7) ignores
the provided kernel source directory and then fails by not finding the
headers.
This was fixed upstream in 2.2.0.3-5 and landed in 18.04/Bionic.
Proposing to backport the additional line of code into Xenial.
+ [ ! -z "$ksourcedir_fromcli" ] && DIR=$kernel_source_dir
Testcase:
Trying to compile any DKMS module with kernel source (headers) in a
non-standard location (/usr/src) will fail with an error reporting missing
headers without the change, even using --kernelsourcedir. With the patch
applied, this works.
