upgrade continued on.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Richard Laager (rlaager)]

This is clearly a bug, but 15.10 is EOL now. In 16.04+, the module is pre-built, so there is no more DKMS building.

[Abram Daniel (adani802)]

Dear Mr. Laager,

Very sorry for this late reply, I just noticed while I am doing In-box
cleanup.

And you are very much correct, it is no longer an issue, but I wonder if
you have an answer for this line, it is no longer showing version
number, it just give a new line return.

$sudo dmesg | grep ZFS

$

Many thanks in advance

Regards,

Dani
