Package: dkms
Version: 2.2.0.2-1
Severity: normal
Hi,
I'm using a dkms-module which provides some MODULES_CONF[] entries in
dkms.conf. When I have installed two kernels, for which the module is
build, and remove one of them, the $module.conf reference gets removed,
too. But the man page for dkms says:
,----[ in Section: MODULES.CONF / MODPROBE.CONF CHANGES ]-
| initrd is then remade. Subsequently, as your modules are then later
| removed from the user's system, until the final module/version combina‐
| tion is removed from the final kernel version, those references in mod‐
| ules.conf will remain. Once the last module/version combination is
| removed, those references are then removed.
`----
So the entries in $modules.conf should persist.
Regards,
Dirk
