Description: i have linux-zen and linux-zen-headers in IgnorePkg. i've done pacman -Syu and it upgraded linux-zen-docs. But it still resulted in kernel hooks being run. This (eg.) uninstalls dkms modules for currently installed kernel and fails to build them for kernel that is not yet upgraded. like this:

pre:

(1/1) Remove DKMS modules
==> dkms remove -m tp_smapi-dkms -v 0.41 -k 4.8.4-1-zen
==> dkms remove -m vboxhost -v 5.1.8_OSE -k 4.8.4-1-zen

post:

(1/4) Install DKMS modules
==> No kernel 4.8.6-1-zen modules. You must install them to use DKMS!




Such hooks should be run when kernel (headers) are upgraded, not when docs are upgraded!

I'm tempted to close this as a partial update issue, but we'll see what the maintainer thinks.

I understand, however i don't think it makes any sense that something is dependent on version of docs...
I mean it's like manpages and stuff... no actual code. it should not have any actual effect on the system.

It also makes non sense to update the docs without everything else.

Take a look at the hook, it's doesn't look at packages, it looks at the filesystem.

Oh now i understand...

So can you please exclude this from the hooks?

It's the same bug than  FS#50370 . New version in testing should fix the issue. Please let me know if everything is ok.
