And, development appears to be suspended: As a ZFS user, I'd like to offer a bit of clarification: zfs-auto-snapshot doesn't depend on any specific kernel versions, but zfs itself does. For example, zfs 2.2.3 supports up to kernel 6.7, and zfs 2.2.4 supports up to kernel 6.8 (ref: https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/releases). I suspect zfs is failing to build with the default kernel as a dependency of zfs-auto-snapshot. Cheers, Kaelyn P.S. If there is interest, I can see about submitting my custom ZFS packages. I split it so that the "zfs" package is just the user-space tools without the kernel module (which should also make it substitutable since it no longer includes binaries with combined GPL and CDDL code), and created a function "make-zfs-for-kernel" that generates a package containing just the kernel modules, built for the given kernel package. This also addresses the issue of the zfs package depending on a kernel package that may or may not be needed (and which it may not compile against), and the user having to create a custom non-substitutable version--including all of the user-space tools--for the specific kernel they are running. > > https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs-auto-snapshot/issues/117
