Package: dkms
Version: 2.2.0.3-1.2
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
After a recent upgrade of linux-{headers,image}-3.8-trunk-amd64, and
after a reboot; noticed that tp_smapi module was not found:
Loading kernel module tp_smapi.
FATAL: Module tp_smapi not found.
And sysfs attributes could not be set:
Setting sysfs variables...[....] unknown attribute
devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/start_charge_thresh
Not sure what caused this.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?
So ran:
dpkg-reconfigure tp-smapi-dkms
-------- Uninstall Beginning --------
Module: tp-smapi
Version: 0.41
Kernel: 3.2.0-4-amd64 (x86_64)
-------------------------------------

* What was the outcome of this action?
The tp_smapi module was installed on kernel 3.8 and loaded again after a
reboot. And sysfs was able to set the attributes.
But why is the other kernel module uninstalled?
dkms status
tp-smapi, 0.41, 3.8-trunk-amd64, x86_64: installed
Booted into 3.2 kernel and got the same result as with the 3.8 kernel,
before running 'dpkg-reconfigure tp-smapi-dkms', as expected.
Running 'dpkg-reconfigure tp-smapi-dkms' on the 3.2 kernel would then
delete the tp_smapi kernel module for the 3.8 kernel.
Reinstalling the linux-headers-3.2.0-4-amd64 package, installed the
tp_smapi module for the 3.2 kernel. Without uninstalling the 3.8
tp_smapi kernel module:
dkms status
tp-smapi, 0.41, 3.2.0-4-amd64, x86_64: installed
tp-smapi, 0.41, 3.8-trunk-amd64, x86_64: installed
* What outcome did you expect instead?
DKMS not to uninstall modules from other/older installed kernel[s].
Thanks,
Michel
