Description Kilian Cavalotti 2022-06-28 21:10:22 UTC 
Description of problem:

The dkms service doesn't start anymore in version 3.0.4


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

dkms-3.0.4-1.el7.noarch


How reproducible:

100% of the time


Steps to Reproduce:
1. update dkms RPM
2. start the dkms service with `systemctl start dkms`
3. note the failure


Actual results:

The service fails to start with the following error:

systemd[1]: [/usr/lib/systemd/system/dkms.service:9] Executable path is not absolute, ignoring: dkms autoinstall --verbose --kernelver %v
systemd[1]: dkms.service lacks both ExecStart= and ExecStop= setting. Refusing.
systemd[1]: Cannot add dependency job for unit dkms.service, ignoring: Unit is not loaded properly: Invalid argument.


Expected results:

The dkms service starts without any error, like in version 3.0.3


Additional info:

In /usr/lib/systemd/system/dkms.service, the ExecStart line has been modified from:

ExecStart=/bin/sh -c 'dkms autoinstall --verbose --kernelver $(uname -r)'

in version 3.0.3, to:

ExecStart=dkms autoinstall --verbose --kernelver %v

in version 3.0.4, which makes systemd ignore the whole ExecStart line, as the executable path is not absolute.
