[Bug 576792] Re: If driver updates use DKMS, DKMS should be pulled in

[Stéphane Graber]

To be fair, the current driver installer doesn't really resolve anything
at all ;)

It just calls dpkg on whatever is in the directory, so you could get it to install dkms by dumping a 01dkms.deb file in there.
I suspect we probably want to implement full repository support in the feature to get proper dependency resolution.

Title:
  If driver updates use DKMS, DKMS should be pulled in

Status in “casper” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: casper

  In order to be practical, driver update disks would commonly be built
  with DKMS.  This would allow them to be applicable on the target
  system and any updated kernels (or PAE kernels) that were pulled in
  during installation.

  The current driver update disk feature will not resolve the DKMS
  dependency prior to installing the driver update.
