Bug#1011317: dkms: spurious messages "Module build for kernel ... was skipped" for non-installed kernels
Vincent Lefevre
Version: 3.0.3-1
Severity: minor
I got the following during an upgrade of the nvidia packages:
Building for 5.14.0-1-amd64, 5.14.0-2-amd64, 5.14.0-3-amd64, 5.14.0-4-amd64, 5.15.0-1-amd64, 5.15.0-3-amd64, 5.16.0-1-amd64, 5.16.0-2-amd64, 5.16.0-3-amd64, 5.16.0-4-amd64, 5.17.0-1-amd64 and 5.17.0-2-amd64
Module build for kernel 5.14.0-1-amd64 was skipped since the
kernel headers for this kernel does not seem to be installed.
Module build for kernel 5.14.0-2-amd64 was skipped since the
kernel headers for this kernel does not seem to be installed.
Module build for kernel 5.14.0-3-amd64 was skipped since the
kernel headers for this kernel does not seem to be installed.
Module build for kernel 5.14.0-4-amd64 was skipped since the
kernel headers for this kernel does not seem to be installed.
Module build for kernel 5.15.0-1-amd64 was skipped since the
kernel headers for this kernel does not seem to be installed.
Module build for kernel 5.15.0-3-amd64 was skipped since the
kernel headers for this kernel does not seem to be installed.
Module build for kernel 5.16.0-1-amd64 was skipped since the
kernel headers for this kernel does not seem to be installed.
Module build for kernel 5.16.0-2-amd64 was skipped since the
kernel headers for this kernel does not seem to be installed.
Module build for kernel 5.16.0-3-amd64 was skipped since the
kernel headers for this kernel does not seem to be installed.
Module build for kernel 5.16.0-4-amd64 was skipped since the
kernel headers for this kernel does not seem to be installed.
but the only installed kernels are 5.17.0-1-amd64 and 5.17.0-2-amd64
(note that I'm talking about the kernel images, not the kernel headers).
The other kernels had been installed in the past, but I removed them
(I keep 2 kernels only).
The dkms(8) man page says:
$autoinstall_all_kernels
used by the common postinst for DKMS modules. It controls if the
build should be done for all installed kernels or only for the
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
current and latest installed kernel. It has no command line
equivalent.

I’m also running into this:
Building for 4.19.0-18-amd64, 5.10.0-25-amd64 and 5.10.0-26-amd64
Module build for kernel 4.19.0-18-amd64 was skipped since the
kernel headers for this kernel does not seem to be installed.
This box was originally a buster and is now a bullseye; dkms seems
to have forgotten all but one of the previously installed buster
kernels. They have been properly purged on apt/dpkg level:
