No, it's because the package fails to install. This should be avoided at all costs, the message should rather say how to fix the problem (install missing packages) and then manually start the build process. Or, already fail in the preinst, so that you don't end up with unconfigured packages in your system. However, I'm fine with adding all the -headers dependencies. ** Tags added: verification-needed -- package kvm-source 1:84+dfsg-0ubuntu11 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/394953 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This a problem that gets reported repeatedly. I have a fix uploading to jaunty-proposed, in conjunction with a much higher SRU. The kvm-source package is a dkms build of the kvm module. In order to build this, you *must* have the kernel headers installed for any kernel that you want to build kvm and boot. Currently, we're depending on linux-headers-server | linux-headers- generic | linux-headers. This isn't good enough, though, as the user might have linux-headers and linux-headers-generic installed, but is running the linux-server kernel. In which, the dkms build fails, and reports the following helpful, informative message: * ERROR: Missing kernel headers. You appear to have at least some kernel headers installed, but you do not have the necessary headers to build kvm-source against this kernel. You might try installing the meta package: $ sudo apt-get install linux-headers-server or specifically $ sudo apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.28-13-server to obtain the necessary build dependencies. * This message tells users exactly how to solve the problem, however we still get bug reports by the truckload. Thus, I'm proposing that we depend on all of linux-headers-server, linux-headers-generic, linux-headers. This will involve installing extra headers on some systems. However, this is contained to users installing kvm-source, and will help avoid a lot of headaches. Proposing for SRU, in conjunction with Bug #359447 and Bug #382077. :-Dustin ** Changed in: kvm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Low ** Changed in: kvm (Ubuntu) Status: New = In Progress ** Changed in: kvm (Ubuntu) Milestone: None = jaunty-updates ** Changed in: kvm (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) = Dustin Kirkland (kirkland) ** Also affects: kvm (Ubuntu Jaunty) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: kvm (Ubuntu Jaunty) Importance: Undecided = Low ** Changed in: kvm (Ubuntu Jaunty) Status: New = Confirmed ** Changed in: kvm (Ubuntu Jaunty) Milestone: None = jaunty-updates -- package kvm-source 1:84+dfsg-0ubuntu11 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/394953 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
