DetailsDescription:
Starting v2.8.8, DEST_MODULE_LOCATION in dkms.conf is no longer used. Instead, dkms overrides it with its own hardcoded location (/updates/dkms). This is caused by a change made by upstream: https://github.com/dell/dkms/commit/e6c14d6b4ebaa66253008251b6485b86d425d7a2 It causes an issue with dkms packages that use DEST_MODULE_LOCATION to take the place of moved files inside the kernel module tree. DKMS moves overriden modules to its own directory, thus causing missing package files warning in pacman. In previous versions, we avoid these warnings by letting dkms packages files take the place of moved files through DEST_MODULE_LOCATION. This is broken in 2.8.8 onwards. |
