Bug Description
Binary package hint: lirc-modules-source
hardy 8.04
lirc-modules-source 0.8.3~pre1-
I need to update a lirc modules with my own version of lirc_mceusb2 (to use a remote not yet in the lirc distribution).
It appears lirc-modules-source now uses dkms to update the lirc modules - which copies existing lirc modules into the dkms save place and puts the new modules under updates/dkms.
The original lirc modules are found in the linux-ubuntu-
I found that if I do a dkms remove the old modules are restored to the original kernel location under kernel/
This leaves the system inconsistent with the package information ( I also cant find a way with dpkg to verify a package is correctly installed with no missing files on the system).
not clear which the package that really needs fixing - dkms (where does dkms get the information about where to restore the original modules to) or lirc or linux-ubuntu-
Id also like to know how to turn off the automatic dkms rebuild of the modules seemingly on any software udpate.
