DKMS SPL build failure occurs on a clean machine because the configure
script attempts to build a small test C program which fails to link
because libc-dev is not installed at that point even though gcc is
installed.
configure: error:
*** Please make sure the kmod spl devel <kernel> package for your
*** distribution is installed then try again. If that fails you
*** can specify the location of the spl objects with the
*** '--with-spl-obj=PATH' option.
The most straight forward fix is to state that libc-dev is a dependency
so that it is installed first before SPL is built. Most DKMS builds
just require gcc and build directly against the kernel, but for SPL
we have this pre-build configure step which needs libc-dev.

@ColinIanKing, I recall that |

@ColinIanKing, is Canonical picking up PPA maintenance? If I will be doing tail support for Precise and Trusty, then I want to minimize testing workload. Past that, I'm indifferent to tweaking things for Wily, especially things that might provide a better upgrade path to Xenial. |
