Ubuntu 22 - dpkg: error processing package gdrdrv-dkms:amd64 (--install) during installation of gdrcopy

[dreambeyondorange]

Hi, we are facing an issue that seems similar to #262 but slightly different and were hoping to get some insights. We were building gdrcopy on an Ubuntu 22 image from 01/2023 just fine and just recently switched to an image from 06/2023 and starting to see this error when installing gdrcopy

Is this related to the versioning issue linked above or something different?

Here is our build recipe

def installation_code
  <<~COMMAND
  CUDA=/usr/local/cuda ./build-deb-packages.sh
  dpkg -i gdrdrv-dkms_#{gdrcopy_version_extended}_#{gdrcopy_arch}.#{gdrcopy_platform}.deb
  dpkg -i libgdrapi_#{gdrcopy_version_extended}_#{gdrcopy_arch}.#{gdrcopy_platform}.deb
  dpkg -i gdrcopy-tests_#{gdrcopy_version_extended}_#{gdrcopy_arch}.#{gdrcopy_platform}.deb
  dpkg -i gdrcopy_#{gdrcopy_version_extended}_#{gdrcopy_arch}.#{gdrcopy_platform}.deb
  COMMAND
end

bash 'Install NVIDIA GDRCopy' do
    user 'root'
    group 'root'
    cwd Chef::Config[:file_cache_path]
    code <<-GDRCOPY_INSTALL
    set -e
    tar -xf #{gdrcopy_tarball}
    cd gdrcopy-#{new_resource.gdrcopy_version}/packages
    #{installation_code}
    GDRCOPY_INSTALL
end

Hi @dreambeyondorange,

This seems to be unrelated to #262. There seems to be an error when you tried to unpack and build gdrdrv. Can you attach /var/lib/dkms/gdrdrv/2.3/build/make.log here? Also, can you compile GDRCopy from source on that machine?

[dreambeyondorange]

I think this may have been a red herring. It is no longer failing without intervention

[dreambeyondorange]

Actually, I am remembering the workaround we did to pin the version of ubuntu 22 to a Jan 6 build. I will add some logs when I can
