• Bug#1098840: virtualbox-dkms: Doesn't build with kernel 6.12.16

    From Florent Le Saout@21:1/5 to All on Tue Feb 25 01:00:01 2025
    Package: virtualbox-dkms
    Version: 7.0.20-dfsg-1.2
    Severity: serious
    Tags: ftbfs
    Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past) X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-amd64@lists.debian.org
    User: debian-amd64@lists.debian.org
    Usertags: amd64

    Dear Maintainer,

    * What led up to the situation? During upgrade DKMS failed to compile the module from the sources (not only virtual box but v4l2 when I retried )
    * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
    ineffective)? I did red the logs and saw => /bin/sh: 1: pahole: not found
    So I installed pahole
    * What was the outcome of this action? Now it's compiling
    * So there is a missing dependency in DKMS for newer kernel than 6.12.15 that required pahole
