Mandriva Update for dkms MDVA-2008:070 (dkms)

Solution
Please Install the Updated Packages.
Insight
The dkms-minimal package in Mandriva Linux 2008 Spring did not require lsb-release. If lsb-release was not installed, the dkms modules were installed in the standard location, instead of the intended /dkms or /dkms-binary. This update fixes that issue. Due to another bug, dkms would consider older installed binary dkms modules as original modules when installing a newer version of the module as a source dkms package, thus wrongly moving the binary modules around. This update disables original_module handling, not needed anymore since the rework of dkms system in 2008 Spring. Dkms would also print an error message during an upgrade of binary module packages, and under certain conditions an additional warning message regarding multiple modules being found. This update removes those harmless messages when they are not appropriate.
Affected
dkms on Mandriva Linux 2008.1, Mandriva Linux 2008.1/X86_64
