Hi,
I have a 10 year-old Dell E6230 laptop which I have updated regularly,
starting from Squeeze and have now updated to Bookworm. Everything
seems to work except for the fact that a module fails to build for the
new kernel:
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 6.1.0-10-amd64 (x86_64)
Consult /var/lib/dkms/psmouse/alps-1.3/build/make.log for more information.
In the log file it says
/var/lib/dkms/psmouse/alps-1.3/build/src/alps.c:1821:9: error: implicit
declaration of function ‘setup_timer’; did you mean ‘del_timer’?
[-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
1821 | setup_timer(&priv->timer, alps_flush_packet, (unsigned
long)psmouse);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~
| del_timer
and a bit of peering around on the internet reveals that the function
'setup_timer' is called 'time_setup' for newer kernels.
The sources seem to be the ones being used since I got the laptop
# ll -d /usr/src/psmouse-alps-1.3/
drwxr-xr-x 3 loris loris 4096 Feb 11 2013 /usr/src/psmouse-alps-1.3/
So do I need a patched version of alps.c?
Cheers,
Loris
