package bcmwl-kernel-source 5.60.48.36 bdcom-0ubuntu5 failed to install/upgrade: bcmwl kernel module failed to build if "patch" is missing

Michael,

This didn't get accepted into the archive before the ISO mastering, so it's now a little late to accept for maverick final since that would require respins of many of the images. I've retargeted this for maverick-updates, which seems reasonable to me given that it's marked as importance: medium. If you disagree, please escalate ASAP to the release manager.

Accepted dkms into maverick-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

This merely changes dependencies, so verification should just confirm that the new dkms package is still able to build modules (for wl, nvidia, or something else).

Accepted dkms into maverick-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

SRU verification for Maverick:
I have reproduced the problem with dkms 2.1.1.2-3ubuntu1 in maverick and have verified that the version of dkms 2.1.1.2-3ubuntu1.1 in -proposed fixes the issue.

Marking as verification-done

This bug was fixed in the package dkms - 2.1.1.2-3ubuntu1.1

---------------
dkms (2.1.1.2-3ubuntu1.1) maverick-proposed; urgency=low

  * debian/control:
    - depend on patch instead of recommending it, if its missing
      the "patches" feature of dkms will no longer work and that
      will cause build failures (LP: #653899)

  [ Alberto Milone ]
  * debian/patches/improve-the-logic-behind-kernels-detection.patch:
    - Before using the current kernel we need to make sure that this
      kernel doesn't belong to the host of a chroot and we should
      also be more careful when adding kernels to the candidates
      list (LP: #602408).
