[LU-15652] Debian dkms install failure

• Type: Bug

Description

Debian kernel package splits '-arch' and '-common' packages.
To configure lustre:
--with-linux=<path-to-common> --with-linux-obj=<path-to-arch>
However the dkms attempts to re-build modules with:

sh autogen.sh && ./configure --with-linux=/lib/modules/5.10.0-0.bpo.9-amd64/build --with-linux-obj=/lib/modules/5.10.0-0.bpo.9-amd64/build --disable-server --disable-quilt --disable-dependency-tracking --disable-doc --disable-utils --disable-iokit --disable-snmp --disable-tests --enable-quota --with-kmp-moddir=updates && make

Which fails.

Resolve the symlink /lib/modules/5.10.0-0.bpo.9-amd64/build

$ ls -l /lib/modules/5.10.0-0.bpo.9-amd64/build 
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 43 Oct 10 12:07 /lib/modules/5.10.0-0.bpo.9-amd64/build -> /usr/src/linux-headers-5.10.0-0.bpo.9-amd64/

and check for the parallel common directory /usr/src/linux-headers-5.10.0-0.bpo.9-common/, if it exists update the path to the kernel headers.
