Subject: BUG: Ubuntu package doesn't return proper error code on failure
Date: Thu, 21 Feb 2019 09:25:40 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <aa99b980f14d5b0cb004e0e1b5c4ab1a@anderiasch.de> (raw)

Hi,
please excuse if this is the wrong medium to report this error, but I 
couldn't manage to file a bug on Launchpad.

Ubuntu 18.04
4.15.0-45-generic
wireguard-dkms                                  0.0.20190123-wg1~bionic

wireguard-dkms failed to install properly because the kernel module 
could not be compiled (my bad, has nothing to do with this bug report), 
but the installation exited with exit code 0 and so I didn't realize at 
first because everything scrolled past. IMHO this should be a non-zero 
exit code because wireguard was obviously not working because I couldn't 
modprobe the kernel module.

apt-get install --reinstall wireguard-dkms

   Consult /var/lib/dkms/wireguard/0.0.20190123/build/make.log for more 
information.

The real cause of the error was me using the LLVM linker lld as 
/usr/bin/lld - which unsurprisingly doesn't build kernel modules, not 
that it matters for this.

Everything is working now flawlessly, thanks for your efforts :)

Cheers,
Florian
