Bug#1026931: rocminfo: fails with error "lsmod: not found"

[Cordell Bloor]

Package: rocminfo
Version: 5.2.3-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: cg...@slerp.xyz

Dear Maintainer,

After installing rocminfo on a fresh new Debian image, I ran the command
and saw the error:

sh: 1: lsmod: not found
ROCk module is NOT loaded, possibly no GPU devices

After running `apt install kmod`, this problem was resolved and I saw
normal output:

ROCk module is loaded
<system details>

Thanks for your report, this would have been caught by a proper
autopkgtest, so sounds like I would have to spend some time to
wrap up something. I guess the end result would look similar to
running the test suite, with a check on /dev/kfd availability,
and a proper skip if not running on real hardware. Shouldn't be
too hard, autopkgtest provides the appropriate knobs for that.

Best wishes, :)
