Hi,
Could you be more specific please? What does "does not work" mean here?
The script works on recent versions of Ubuntu. I do not have any Debian system to test. How do you characterise a Debian version ? Do you have a /etc/lsb-release file as in Ubuntu ? Do you have a /etc/debian_version file as I can see in my Raspbian (Raspberry Pi) and what is its content ?

Hi,
What does not work? -The script cannot find the name of the Linux distro.
Here is the script with the /bin/bash -x flag:

I have pushed a fix which builds the .deb package on a Raspbian and should hopefully work on Debian.
Please close this issue if this fixes your problem.

Many thanks @lelegard the debian package is created correctly however I get a new issue.
I have successfully built the DTA driver (which I need) by entering the folder
dektec-dkms/LinuxSDK/Drivers/Dta/Source/Linux
and using make and sudo make install.
However I cannot install the debian package via the dkms method.

The package dkms is, by definition, a dependency of all DKMS driver packages. And Linux headers is a natural dependency of DKMS because the purpose of DKMS is automatic recompilation of drivers on kernel upgrades and recompiling a driver requires Linux headers. All of these are normal.
So, now, you have rebuilt dektec-dkms and installed dkms and linux-headers-amd64. You should be able to install dektec-dkms. Does this work? Are the Dektec drivers automatically recompiled on kernel upgrades? You reopened the issue, so you must have some problem. But your last message is not clear about what it is precisely.

I can build the deb package but I cannot install it, so it doesn't work.
I receive the errors:
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of dektec-dkms:
dektec-dkms depends on linux-headers; however:
Package linux-headers is not installed.
Even though it is installed. I can however build it from the linux sources.

It seems that Ubuntu and Debian use distinct package names for kernel headers. I just pushed a fix. Could you please rebuild the dektec-dkms package and retry the installation.
