[Pkg-zfsonlinux-devel] Bug#1012305: zfsutils-linux: tried to instal zfsutils-linux on 2 systems, it fails to compile the module on both.

[Andrei]

Package: zfsutils-linux
Version: 2.0.3-9
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: andrei.hornoiu at ist.ac.at

Dear Maintainer,

I recently tried to install zfsutils-linux on 2 separate Debian11.2 desktop
installation. Initially it was a test instance on my main system, which I dual-
booted with the previous system. The initial ubuntu install has zfs installed
and working. The installation of zfsutils-linux on the debian 11 install failed
at the modules, just like now. This attempts was several months ago.

I tried again today on my laptop that also is running Debian 11 desktop just to
see if it was fixed. It also failed to install and failed to compile the
modules.

The relevant section is:

completely from the DKMS tree.

Hope this gets fixed soon, would really like to be able to switch to debian 11
on my main system.
