[Solved] linux-headers generated/autoconf.h disappears

I'm having an issue with the linux-headers package where the generated/autoconf.h as well as generated/rustc_cfg just disappear. This happens when installing/upgrading the package. I checked that the archive contains the files in question but when I run

# pacman -S linux-headers

or

# pacman -U linux-headers-6.9.1.arch1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

the files just don't show up in my fs. Any help is appreciated.

Re: [Solved] linux-headers generated/autoconf.h disappears

pacman -Qikk linux-headers
ls -l /usr/lib/modules/*/build/include/generated/autoconf.h

Please also list all DKMS packages installed on the system as the cause of the files deletion is likely the make clean entry of a dkms.conf.

Thanks a lot. It was the pfring-dkms package from blackarch. Removed it and all works fine now.

Thanks a lot. It was the pfring-dkms package from blackarch.

Please report the issue to the package's maintainers so it can be resolved.
It might be related to this clean command from pfring-dkms/kernel/Makefile:

clean:
	$(MAKE) -C $(KERNEL_SRC) SUBDIRS=$(HERE) clean || true
	\rm -f *~ Module.symvers Module.markers modules.order *#
