Followup-For: Bug #717565
Control: found -1 0.6.1-2

Hi,

the package still fails to build a module:

config.log contains:

This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by configure, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.69.  Invocation command line was

  $ /var/lib/dkms/spl/0.6.1/build/configure --prefix=/usr --with-config=kernel --with-linux=/lib/modules/3.10-2-amd64/source --with-linux-obj=/lib/modules/3.10-2-amd64/build

OK, you are missing a dependency on libc-dev.

Now this looks better:

Setting up spl-dkms (0.6.1-2) ...
Loading new spl-0.6.1 DKMS files...
First Installation: checking all kernels...
dpkg: warning: version '*-*' has bad syntax: version number does not start with digit

Running the post_install script:

DKMS: install completed.


So, spl-dkms is missing

  Depends: libc6-dev [!alpha !ia64 !hurd-i386] | libc0.3-dev [hurd-i386] | libc6.1-dev [alpha ia64] | libc-dev, file

Alternatively

  Depends: build-essential, file


And some autofoo changes might be useful to get rid of
