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....@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:
Setting up zfs-dkms (2.0.3-9) ...

completely from the DKMS tree.

Hope this gets fixed soon, would really like to be able to switch to debian 11

I have tried this again with an up-to-date bullseye VM and it worked fine.

Missing this file means that you don't have the proper header package
installed, would you mind double checking whether you have
linux-headers-5.10.0-14-common installed?

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@lnadmn078:~$ apt list --installed | grep headers

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

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
