I got exactly this bug on my Packard-Bell MX45. 

The make.log is identical.

Let me know if you need further information.

Comment 2 Samuel Verschelde 2015-09-21 13:18:57 CEST
Mageia 4 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-09-19. It is is no longer 
maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug 
fix updates.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to 
fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later 
Mageia version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we weren't 
able to fix it before Mageia 4's end of life. If you are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and 
change it against that version of Mageia. If it's valid in several versions, 
select the highest and add MGAxTOO in whiteboard for each other valid release.
Example: it's valid in cauldron and Mageia 5, set to cauldron and add MGA5TOO.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, 
sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia 
release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.

If you would like to help fixing bugs in the future, don't hesitate to join the
packager team via our mentoring program [1] or join the teams that fit you 
most [2].

This still happens on Cauldron, but can't we obsolete dkms-syntek? See:

* https://duckduckgo.com/?q=syntek%20debian

* https://duckduckgo.com/?q=syntek%20fedora

Hardware: i586 => All
Version: 4 => Cauldron

Comment 4 Rémi Verschelde 2015-09-21 15:29:24 CEST
Assuming MGA5TOO then.

Whiteboard: (none) => MGA5TOO

Can you elaborate? The output how these links is not very clear to me.

The build still fails in latest cauldron, apparently.

From Mageia 8 onwards dkms-syntek is no longer shipped with Mageia. dkms-syntek got obsoleted.
