Package: dkms
Version: 2.1.1.2-3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
This shows up, on my system, when trying to build the modules for virtualbox
(PUEL). There are 3 modules, and they need to be built in a specific order (the
others depend on the first to build correctly). If dkms processes the modules
in sorted sequence everything is fine. Otherwise I have to manually get the
modules to build. Here's an example of what I mean:
'find "$dkms_tree" -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 -type d' returns, on my system:
/var/lib/dkms/vboxnetadp
/var/lib/dkms/vboxnetflt
/var/lib/dkms/nvidia
/var/lib/dkms/vboxdrv
The 2 vboxnet modules dpend on the vboxdrv module in order to compile
correctly, so this ends up failing. After patching the autoinstaller to pipe
the results through a sort the order becomes:
/var/lib/dkms/nvidia
/var/lib/dkms/vboxdrv
/var/lib/dkms/vboxnetadp
/var/lib/dkms/vboxnetflt
And this works just fine. Patch attached. Need anything else please let me know.
TIA

thanks
this must have been a virtualbox issue. as of at least 3.2.8 they now
only have one dkms directory, and i assume they've set that up in a way
that installs modules in the correct order:
$ ls /var/lib/dkms
dkms_dbversion virtualbox-ose
if this hasn't fixed the problem, please reopen the bug.
thanks,
mike
