Description David Sommerseth 2024-12-18 13:18:42 UTC

Description of problem:
As of the upstream dkms-3.1.3 release, the DKMS package is lacking the /usr/lib/dkms/common.postinst script, which makes RPM packages providing out-of-tree modules fail during install.

This issue has been acknowledged and fixed in the upstream code base: https://github.com/dell/dkms/commit/29f14df8688860f4699ad3cda1c7a2916ad3ba12

A pull-req to the Fedora packaging has been provided, resolving this issue:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/dkms/pull-request/2

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dkms-3.1.3-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install or upgrade dkms-3.1.3-1
2. Enable dsommers/openvpn3 Copr repo:  dnf copr enable dsommers/openvpn3
3. Install kmod-ovpn-dco:  dnf install kmod-ovpn-dco

If downgrading to the previous dkms package or upgrading to the one via the pull-request mentioned above, the ovpn-dco-v2 kernel module becomes available.

Actual results:
It fails completing the package install due to scriptlets in the out-of-tree kernel module depending on a non-existing file.

Expected results:
The dkms package completing the kernel module installation successfully.
