Bug#785205: nvidia-kernel-dkms: fails to build with kernel 4.0 (sid)

[Konstantin Demin]

Hi Vincent!

I'm currently trying to debianize 346.72 using
nvidia-graphics-drivers:346.59 and i have pretty same issue.
Build succeeds with target architecture "amd64" but it will fail with
others architectures.

Here is my investigation:

krd at aceroid $ uname -a
Linux aceroid 4.0.5-krd.aceroid.0 #1 SMP Mon Jun 15 14:33:27 MSK 2015
x86_64 GNU/Linux

krd at aceroid $ sbuild -c sid-i386-sbuild --arch=i386
nvidia-graphics-drivers_346.72-0.dsc
[--- CUT HERE ---]
# Use the nvidia-kernel-source source to create the DKMS tree.
mkdir -p debian/nvidia-kernel-dkms/usr/src/
mv debian/nvidia-kernel-source/usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel
debian/nvidia-kernel-dkms/usr/src/nvidia-current-346.72
rmdir debian/nvidia-kernel-source/usr/src/modules/
cd debian/nvidia-kernel-dkms/usr/src/nvidia-current-346.72 \
    && QUILT_PATCHES=debian/patches quilt --quiltrc /dev/null push -a
|| test $? = 2 \
    && rm -rf .pc debian

Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

Temporary solution is to copy whole uvm/ directory from amd64 variant to others.
