[pkg-nvidia-devel] Bug#501987: nvidia-kernel-source: ignores make errors and reuses previously built nvidia.ko

[Sven Joachim]

Package: nvidia-kernel-source
Version: 173.14.09-5
Severity: important

As noted in #500285, the nvidia module does not build against Linux
2.6.27.  However, the nvidia-kernel-source hides that fact by ignoring
make errors and reusing a previously built nvidia.ko, which will of
course fail to load as it doesn't match the kernel version.  This can be
reproduced with both make-kpkg and module-assistant.
