6 years ago This is an issue with Archlinux and not SPL/ZFS itself (https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/52901).
You can either install dkms-sorted or manually run the dkms build after spl. The dkms packages in archzfs have a workaround for that, too.

Same problem as https://github.com/zfsonlinux/spl/issues/618
Here is the error log when installing linux-vfio :: Running pre-transaction hooks... (1/1) Remove DKMS modules ==> dkms remove zfs/0.6.5.10 -k 4.11.9-1-vfio ==> dkms remove spl/0.6.5.10 -k 4.11.9-1-vfio :: Processing package changes... (1/3) reinstalling linux-vfio [######################] 100%
Here is the error log when installing zfs-dkms alone:

can specify the location of the spl objects with the

It is shown that the installaion knows the spl dependency, but installation cant continue after zfs as dependency may be in wrong order.
