Public bug reported:
It seems that the upstream-2.2.0.1 tag introduced a bug in the script
logic: it replaced these lines:
- if ! [ -d "$temp_dir_name/dkms_main_tree" ]; then
+ if [[ ! $temp_dir_name/dkms_main_tree ]]; then
This changes a check for the existence of a certain directory with a
check for the non-emptyness of a string. As the string consists of the
concatenation of a variable with a fixed non-empty suffix, the string
will always be non-empty, rendering the whole conditional block which
follows non-operational.
Encountered this on precise as a host system on a parallels desktop
virtual machine. Installing the parallels guest tools reported the
following error in some install log:
Error! No valid dkms.conf in dkms_source_tree or dkms_binaries_only.
/usr/lib/parallels-tools/kmods/prl_mod.tar.gz is not a valid DKMS tarball.
I presume that without this error, parallels drivers would get updated
automatically on kernel upgrades.
I'll propose a bzr branch for merging shortly.
