[lustre-discuss] dkms-2.8.6 breaks installation of lustre-zfs-dkms-2.12.7-1.el7.noarch

[Fredrik Nyström]

dkms was recently updated to version 2.8.6 in epel/7.

After this update installation of lustre-zfs-dkms-2.12.7-1.el7.noarch 
fails with following error:

./configure: line 33341: test: zfs: integer expression expected
configure: error: 


Breakage seems to be caused by following dkms commit:
https://github.com/dell/dkms/commit/f83b758b6fb8ca67b1ab65df9e3d2a1e994eb483


configure line 33341:
if test x$enable_modules = xyes && test $ZFS_MAJOR -eq 0 && test $ZFS_MINOR -lt 8; then :

Not sure exactly how but it ends up with ZFS_MAJOR=zfs, ZFS_MINOR=zfs 
instead of: ZFS_MAJOR=0, ZFS_MINOR=7


Downgrading to older dkms or manually reverting the commit mentioned 
above solved this problem for me.
