from pkg-zfs.

I can reproduce this error on a vanilla Ubuntu Natty server installation. It is happening because the compiler is installed and invoked before the libc6-dev package is installed. Doing this avoids the error:

 # apt-get install --no-install-recommends libc6-dev
 # apt-get install ubuntu-zfs

At first glance, this bug seems like it is caused by the "Pre-Depends: spl-dkms" control in the zfs-dkms package.

from pkg-zfs.

Ok thanks

from pkg-zfs.

I just got the same error. Installing libc6-dev before ubuntu-zfs zfs-initramfs resolved the problem.

from pkg-zfs.

This issue seems resolved. Please reopen the ticket if the installation failure happens again.

from pkg-zfs.

I have this problem again if I installed zfs-dkms without ubuntu-zfs. This is a common thing to do and it is not clear that one must install ubuntu-zfs. Please fix!

workaround is to add it as a dependency in spl-dkms and zfs-dkms.

Please reopen and fix!

Ubuntu specifically and intentionally allows this failure mode to accommodate certain advanced system configurations; things like local make-kpkg installations and other kernel overrides.

This behavior is by design. Implementing your recommendation would affect people that use this feature, especially those that do custom installations for cloud deployments.

Open a bug report against dkms if you still think that it should depend on libc6-dev or any other package. If the upstream maintainer agrees, then I will kludge the bug in pkg-zfs until the fix is published in regular distribution.
