nvidia-kernel-dkms 340.65-2~bpo70+1 doesn't build with pve-kernel-2.6.32-43-pve

nvidia-kernel-dkms 340.65-2~bpo70+1 (from wheezy-backport) doesn't build with pve-kernel-2.6.32-43-pve. With pve-kernel-2.6.32-42-pve and below, building module nvidia was always fine.

'dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-kernel-dkms' fails with the new kernel 2.6.32-43 and says to see /var/lib/dkms/nvidia-current/340.65/build/make.log (Join in attachments View attachment make.log.zip).
But i'm not enough expert to understand what appends.

Thanks for help.

I have succeeded to investigate.
Seems to results from changes to the file /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-43-pve/include/linux/string.h. These lines were added in pve-headers-2.6.32-43 :

/**
 * kbasename - return the last part of a pathname.
 *
 * @path: path to extract the filename from.
 */
static inline const char *kbasename(const char *path)
{
        const char *tail = strrchr(path, '/');
        return tail ? tail + 1 : path;
}

Removing them, nvidia module builds now fine again.


Many files in /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-43-pve/ belongs to user uid 1000, group id 1000. I'm thinking it should be root.


How to report that things to proxmox' team ?
