debian packaging breaks module compilation

[bdols]

I'm an end user who upgraded everything to current in debian, as part my recent "apt-get upgrade", linux kernel 3.16.0 was installed and some zfs-related packages were upgraded. I found after boot that the zfs module was not compiled for the 3.16.0 kernel

packages:
ii build-essential 11.7 amd64 Informational list of build-essential packages
un linux-headers (no description available)
ii linux-headers-3.16.0-4-amd64 3.16.7-ckt11-1+deb8u6 amd64 Header files for Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64
ii linux-headers-3.16.0-4-common 3.16.7-ckt11-1+deb8u6 amd64 Common header files for Linux 3.16.0-4
ii linux-headers-3.2.0-4-amd64 3.2.68-1+deb7u2 amd64 Header files for Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64
ii linux-headers-3.2.0-4-common 3.2.68-1+deb7u2 amd64 Common header files for Linux 3.2.0-4
un linux-headers-686-pae (no description available)
ii linux-headers-amd64 3.16+63 amd64 Header files for Linux amd64 configuration (meta-package)
un linux-headers-generic (no description available)
ii spl 0.6.5.3-1 amd64 Solaris Porting Layer user-space utilities for Linux
ii spl-dkms 0.6.5.3-1 all Solaris Porting Layer kernel modules for Linux
ii zfs-dkms 0.6.5.2-2 all Native ZFS filesystem kernel modules for Linux
ii zfsutils 0.6.5.2-2 amd64 command-line tools to manage ZFS filesystems

zfs-dkms and spl-dkms versions are mismatched

I ran "dpkg-reconfigure zfs-dkms":

Deleting module version: 0.6.5.2

completely from the DKMS tree.

Done.

i worked around this by downgrading spl-dkms to 0.6.5-1 that was still in my apt-cache, thankfully.
ran dpkg-reconfigure zfs-dkms and modprobe zfs to get my zfs volumes back.

apt-cache policy spl-dkms should show you're getting spl-dkms from debian's testing or experimental respository. testing and experimental are not supported by @FransUrbo, his packages are stuck at 0.6.5.2 as of now.
See zfsonlinux/pkg-zfs#184 and zfsonlinux/pkg-zfs#181.

Duplicate of #184. zfsonlinux/pkg-zfs#184
(thanks @dasjoe)

[dasjoe]

No, not of #184 but of zfsonlinux/pkg-zfs#184...

[bdols]

yes, I have had experimental of debian for some time for some reason unrelated to zfs

I had a similar issue.
Reinstalling linux-source and Installing gcc-multilib fixed it for me.
zfs compiled for 3.19.0.32 afterwards.

apt-get install linux-source gcc-multilib
dkms remove -m zfs -v 0.6.5.4 --all
dkms remove -m spl -v 0.6.5.4 --all
dkms add -m spl -v 0.6.5.4
dkms add -m zfs -v 0.6.5.4
dkms install -m spl -v 0.6.5.4
dkms install -m zfs -v 0.6.0.4

@behlendorf Can you close this as "won't fix"?

See zfsonlinux/pkg-zfs#184 (comment) for excuse.

[behlendorf]

Packages are now provided by Debian.
