new error message with package 3.1.1-1
With package version 3.1.1-1 I am seeing new error message in the logs when installing a new kernel resp. updating a kernel:
/usr/lib/kernel/install.d/40-dkms.install: Zeile 4: /../trash/postinst.d/dkms: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
Downgrading the package to previous version 3.0.13-1 removes the error message.
Seems to be related changes coming with dkms 3.1.1
See also this thread in the endeavouros forum: https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/dkms-error/62236
The script 40-dkms.install seems to be odd with absolute path names:
#!/bin/sh
if [ "$1" = "add" ]; then
/../trash/postinst.d/dkms "$2"
fi
if [ "$1" = "remove" ]; then
/../trash/prerm.d/dkms "$2"
fiActivity
added priority3-normal severity4-low statusunconfirmed labels

Please do not ignore the issue template, it is there for a good reason!
How do I reproduce this?

It does contain absolute path names
Yeah, it definitely doesn't look right.. probably due to poisoning. This likely affects only those systems employing
kernel-installe.g. EndeavourOS.-
@seblu so what do we do about this?

do we declare usage of the kernel-install stuff unsupported?
Hmm, that wouldn't be wise methinks.
kernel-installis documented in the Wiki and seems to have valid use cases on genuine Arch systems (for UKIs and whatnot)..Maybe just
rm -rf /usr/libin the pkg?40-dkms.installwasn't in the previous pkg. After all, it seems to be part of the "debian stuff" which shouldn't be needed. It only snuck in due to an upstream change.Edited by Toolybird

mentioned in commit 5cec1dbc
@gromit, I pushed a quick fix, which is not ideal, as it simply removes the kernel-install files from the DKMS upstream. Currently, this script breaks the correct execution of kernel-install, leaving kernels partially removed in the filesystem tree.
If DKMS supported kernel-install, we should definitely consider it.

Original regression fixed with 5cec1dbc. Further packaging improvements to be reevaluated at next bump.
