The fix here breaks installing custom kernels, at least on xenial (dkms (2.2.0.3-2ubuntu11.7) xenial): the redirection of stdout was to there to fix a problem with dkms output contaminating debconf's input - see #292606 for details. To be specific, during package install (either via dpkg or apt-get) I'm now getting the following error from /usr/sbin /update-grub-legacy-ec2 which is run from /etc/kernel/postinst.d/x-grub- legacy-ec2 (after running /etc/kernel/postinst.d/dkms):
20 Unsupported command "*" (full line was " * dkms: running auto installation service for kernel ...") received from confmodule. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1827697 Title: Enroll key whiptail prompt blocks kernel header package upgrades To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dkms/+bug/1827697/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
