An error related to chipsec dkms module

I finally decided to go for a full system upgrade since a Chromium bug was causing lot of issues. While updating, at end when DKMS modules are installed, this came up

==> dkms install --no-depmod -m chipsec -v 1.3.7.r24.g6671020 -k 5.7.2-arch1-1
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 5.7.2-arch1-1 (x86_64)

I am aware that chipsec thing exists in AUR, though I don't really remember ever installing Chipsec python program. Anyways, could this be a serious issue?
Also, how do I get rid of it if I want to? Just remove the Chipsec thing?

Yes, I will try to be more attentive of things I install and edit up

Re: An error related to chipsec dkms module

You have a year old release of a git package from AUR you do not remember installing.  Assuming it was provided by a package,  remove the package providing it if you do not want it.
If you do want the package try updating it.

Please use code tags for commands and their outputs.  Please post full outputs.

How do I look out for which package wanted to install this module?

Also this was the log

 
cat /var/lib/dkms/chipsec/1.3.7.r24.g6671020/build/make.log | more

Re: An error related to chipsec dkms module

DKMS looks for modules with a config file in the path /usr/src/*/*.conf

pacman -Qo /usr/src

See if the output contain chipsec-dkms-git.

It has chipsec listed as one of owners

pacman -Qo /usr/src
/usr/src/ is owned by chipsec 3:1.3.7.r24.g6671020-1
/usr/src/ is owned by filesystem 2020.05.20-1
/usr/src/ is owned by linux-headers 5.7.2.arch1-1

Re: An error related to chipsec dkms module

The chipsec package will be the one providing the failing DKMS module.  I can not see chipsec in the official repositories or in AUR.  Perhaps it was deleted from AUR or you obtained it from an unofficial repository.
