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

[Andrei HORNOIU]

Hi Aron,

if you look at my second email to this bug, you'll see that that
package is ideed installed, and the steps apt goes through to install
it. 

Here's that listing again:

andrei at lnadmn078:~$ apt list --installed | grep headers

WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in
scripts.

linux-headers-5.10.0-12-amd64/stable-security,now 5.10.103-1 amd64
[installed]
linux-headers-5.10.0-12-common/stable-security,stable-security,now
5.10.103-1 all [installed]
linux-headers-5.10.0-14-amd64/stable-security,now 5.10.113-1 amd64
[installed,automatic]
linux-headers-5.10.0-14-common/stable-security,stable-security,now
5.10.113-1 all [installed,automatic]
linux-headers-amd64/stable-security,now 5.10.113-1 amd64 [installed]


I'd also like to confirm that the bullseye-backports package for
zfsutils does install and works. Not sure what the difference in
dependencies is between the two packages, but that one does indeed
work.

Cheers
Andrei
