Package: dkms Version: 2.2.0.3-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
today I upgraded the open-vm-dkms to a newer version released yesterday. It tried to rebuild new kernel modules, which failed (no I don't have the exact error message, the putty session is already gone). The following code in the postinst looks weird to me: <snip> #!/bin/sh set -e # Automatically added by dh_dkms # The original file can be found in template-dkms-mkdeb/debian/postinst # in the DKMS tarball, check it for copyright notices. DKMS_NAME=open-vm-tools DKMS_PACKAGE_NAME=$DKMS_NAME-dkms DKMS_VERSION=#MODULE_VERSION# <snap> --> The DKMS_VERSION has no senseful value. The fact that DKMS_PACKAGE_NAME has no senseful value either might be a bug in open-vm-dkms, it would be nice if you could confirm this.
