Error with zfs-dkms for linux-lts

Hi all,

I have linux, linux-lts and zfs-dkms installed. When I update I'm getting following error for linux-lts:

There are similar posts here:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=226806
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=220790

In the first one is suggested to install zfs-dkms-rc which I don't want to do because of the low value in Votes and Popularity and in the second one I don't understand what is the solution. If the error appears because zfs gets installed before spl why I'm not getting an error for lts?

See the big fat note on https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ZFS#DKMS

The dkms hook builds in random order, so you're not guaranteed that spl will be built before zfs. But you're not guaranteed it won't either. That's the definition of random.

OK and what can I do for it? If I replace dkms with dkms-sorted will the errors disappear?

[UPDATE]

I have replaced dkms with dkms-sorted and today there was an update for linux-lts.
spl was installed before zfs and there are no errors during building. I hope this is not because of a random order.
This is the output:
