Description

Hi.

I am trying to install Lustre Client 2.15 on SLES 15 SP3 with the default kernel and dkms packages, but the installation of the lustre-client-dkms package fails with the following log:

The package is being installed directly using zypper (zypper in lustre-client-dkms), after adding the following repo:

https://downloads.whamcloud.com/public/lustre/lustre-2.15.0/sles15sp3/client/

 

A similar issue had been reported before and apparently fixed in Lustre 2.9 here:

https://jira.whamcloud.com/browse/LU-8630

I am not sure if it has come back, or the fix is somehow not getting applied to installation on SLES. Is there a fix or work-around for this?

Hi utopiabound,
I saw the changes were introduced from https://review.whamcloud.com/28210. Did the extra space issue occur at that time?

I made the following changes to remove the quotes around the "-k updates" option:

With the above change, lustre-client-dkms can be built and installed successfully. I'll submit the change to Gerrit after my login issue is resolved.
