Archdevs,
Update tonight to 4.12.3-1, and for the first time in years, DKMS failed to
rebuild the VirtualBox kernel modules. Specifically attempting a manual
install/build resulted in:
# dkms install -m vboxhost -v 5.1.22
Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel. Skipping...
Building module:
cleaning build area...
make -j8 KERNELRELEASE=4.12.3-1-ARCH -C /usr/lib/modules/4.12.3-1-ARCH/build
M=/var/lib/dkms/vboxhost/5.1.22/build....(bad exit status: 2)
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 4.12.3-1-ARCH (x86_64)
Consult /var/lib/dkms/vboxhost/5.1.22/build/make.log for more information.
Is this known, expected, or do we need to open a bug?
The error from the log centers around:
