Bug Description

[Impact]

Currently the DKMS package fails to install on supported custom
kernels that are based on 5.0.

[Test Case]

Install the dahdi-dkms package with the 5.0 unstable kernel. The
package installation should proceed without any errors.

[Regression Potential]

Although new patches were added, the regression risk is very low since
the new changes are conditionally compiled based on the kernel
version.

Besides that, the new package was tested with the following kernels in
an amd64 environment:

- linux-generic 5.0
- linux-generic 4.19

[Original Description]

Testing failed on:

Experiencing this same issue on bionic/linux-hwe-edge:

To fix this, I've backported patches from rtl8812au in disco to rtl8812au in bionic. No context changes were required.

Testing:

- Create Bionic 18.04 VM
- Install bionic/linux-hwe-edge kernel headers, image, and modules packages from -proposed: https://launchpad.net/~canonical-kernel-team/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+packages?field.name_filter=linux-hwe-edge&field.status_filter=published&field.series_filter=bionic
- Enable the -proposed repository in the VM
- "sudo apt update"
- Verify the version of rtl8812au-dkms is the one failing (found on this bug) "apt show rtl8812au-dkms"
- "sudo apt install rtl8812au-dkms", confirm it fails at installation step
- Uninstall "sudo apt remove rtl8812au-dkms"
- "pull-lp-sources rtl8812au bionic"
- Apply the debdiff, this will change a little depending on your cwd: "debdiff-apply < rtl8812au_4.3.8.12175.20140902+dfsg-0ubuntu8.1.debdiff"
- Build the package "debuild -us -uc"
- Install the .deb generated from the previous step
- Verify the package installs correctly "sudo dpkg --install rtl8812au-dkms_4.3.8.12175.20140902+dfsg-0ubuntu8.1_all.deb"

Hello Seth, or anyone else affected,

Accepted rtl8812au into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rtl8812au/4.3.8.12175.20140902+dfsg-0ubuntu8.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-bionic. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!
