Description

While installing packages for IML@4.0.6 on Centos 7.5 with kernel 3.10.0-862.2.3.el7.x86_64 we received the following message from dnf:

DKMS: install completed.

lustre-dkms should require either "patch" or "quilt".

I'm currently testing to see if I am able to create a filesystem even with the reported error. If not this may block IML@4.0.6. I should know within the next 30 minutes and will post an update.

[Joe Grund]

Is there any fallout to be aware of if that %post block fails due to patch / quilt missing?

I was able to create a filesystem and mount it on a client even with the error.

One has to wonder though, is patch (or quilt) actually needed when:

I was able to create a filesystem and mount it on a client even with the error.

Probably need to understand a bit more about:

configure: error: *** Need "quilt" or "patch" command

and why configure is wanting it when it seems to not actually need it.
