Bug description:
[Impact]
This bug makes it impossible to uninstall DKMS modules. When trying to
uninstall a DKMS module using "dkms uninstall -m my_module -v 1.1" dkms fails
with exit code 1 and doesn't print an error message.
The commands
"dkms uninstall -m my_module -v 1.1 --all"
and
"dkms uninstall -m my_module -v 1.1 -k 3.2.0-57 -k 3.5.0-44"
fail as expected with the resp. error messages and exit codes in function
"have_one_kernel".
The proposed patch is a backport from upstream.
[Test Case]
A test script has been added in comment
https://bugs.launchpad.net/debian/+source/dkms/+bug/1261116/comments/8.
To reproduce the bug:
1. Take any dkms package.
2. Copy the package into the dkms src folder
/usr/src/<package_name>-<package_version>.
<package_name> and <package_version> can be found in dkms.conf in the
package.
3. Add the dkms module:
dkms add -m <package_name> -v <package_version>
4. Build the dkms module:
dkms build -m <package_name> -v <package_version>
5. Install the dkms module:
dkms install -m <package_name> -v <package_version>
6. Try to uninstall the dkms module:
dkms uninstall -m <package_name> -v <package_version>
Here, dkms fails with exit code 1 and without emitting an error message.
[Regression Potential]
All client code that uses the "dkms uninstall" command and relies on it
failing is a candidate for regression.
