dkms install problems

Fri Aug 24 21:23:21 CDT 2007

please post the rpm -qp --scripts madwifi-0.9.4-* dkms-madwifi-0.9.4-*

I'm not sure what those scripts are doing when they invoke dkms remove.

Thanks,
Matt

Subject: dkms install problems

I have been building madwifi svn releases and in last dkms-madwifi install i saw some weird outputs.

As we can see im installing dkms-madwifi-0.9.4-0.svn2669, it was installed dkms-madwifi-0.9.4-0.svn2659, but all madwifi kernel modules were removed during the install when that shouldnt happened, but check the output:

[root at asus x86_64]# urpmi madwifi-0.9.4-0.svn2669.1mde2007.1.x86_64.rpm
