Closed issue by b1scu1t on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/18976 Description: ### System * package: `dkms_2.8.1` ### Expected behavior To be able to install `dkms` without requiring the `linux-headers` meta-package. ### Actual behavior The `linux-headers` meta-package is installed, even if kernel headers are already provided by another package. E.g: `linux-lts-headers`. ### Steps to reproduce the behavior `sudo xbps-install -S dkms` ### Notes As Void provides multiple kernels and kernel headers, I don't think it would be good to have dkms depend on one package in particular. I only use `linux-lts` and `linux-lts-headers`, but dkms will also generate modules for `linux`, which I don't have installed.
