3. apt install zfsutils-linux does not install dkms,spl-dkms and
dependencies since 16.04 kernel already contains zfs.ko
4. apt install zfsutils-linux installs all of the following:
dkms fakeroot gcc gcc-5 libasan2 libatomic1 libc-dev-bin libc6-dev libcc1-0
libcilkrts5 libfakeroot libfreetype6 libgcc-5-dev libgomp1 libitm1
liblsan0 libmpx0 libquadmath0 libtsan0 libubsan0 linux-libc-dev
manpages-dev spl spl-dkms
and then any kernel install/update then attempts to dkms rebuild zfs
and spl even though the modules are already provided.
% dpkg -S /lib/modules/4.13.0-19-generic/kernel/zfs/zfs/zfs.ko
linux-image-4.13.0-19-generic:
/lib/modules/4.13.0-19-generic/kernel/zfs/zfs/zfs.ko
% dpkg -S /lib/modules/4.13.0-19-generic/kernel/zfs/spl/spl.ko
linux-image-4.13.0-19-generic:
/lib/modules/4.13.0-19-generic/kernel/zfs/spl/spl.ko
We can see from the package requirements, that it Recommends zfs-dkms, but
only on Xenial. Releases newer than Xenial do not have this package
requirement.
