Motivation and Context
Fixes: #15404 (comment)
It's a workaround, but for now it will allow Ubuntu users to install openzfs-zfs-dkms.
IMHO it should go into 2.2.1. That's why I rushed this quickly.
Description
Only the
Conflicts: zfs-dkmsdefinition is removed.Personally I think the new naming schema should be reverted to the old one, which would solve the current problem.
Because nothing can prevent a distro (Ubuntu) to switch to the new (openzfs-xxx) naming schema and the problem that motivated the change, to prevent what rincebrain said:
would be the same again.
But that's something for you people to decide. Or to find a better solution.
How Has This Been Tested?
Didn't test that personally. Users in the linked issue did that.
