I can confirm the error and I gather there is a typo in the dkms-relevant file(s) that includes a glob. This suspicion is supported by your list of errors being ever so slightly different from mine and can be confirmed when you confirm that you do in fact have a file or directory at the root of your system called /repo.

I'm not familiar enough with dkms to know where this error would be, but it's an issue with the package that should be reported to the maintainer.

That said, I suspect /usr/src/hid-xpadneo-0.9.r121.g727a84f/Makefile as there are very clear and obvious errors in that Makefile which make it almost complete and utter gibberish - that *will* fail in pretty spectacular ways. I can't follow the exact steps from that makefile to the present error, but I'd be surprised if that file is not the problem. I father that Makefile was something that upstream uses locally for some preparation of the distributed content and it was included by accident in place of the proper dkms Makefile.

EDIT: Hmm, it seems that Makefile's problems make actually be a coincidence (though they themselves would be crippling to this package). I get the same list of errors with other dkms packages ... so I gather some configuration of dkms might be required (I've only installed dkms for testing this package).

EDIT 2: Yup, apparently this is the error one gets when they install a dkms package without having the kernel headers installed. Follow the wiki page for dkms and this problem will be solved. I'd also consider a feature request to the dkms package to give a useful error message in such conditions as this is pretty horrible error checking.

What's the output of `pacman -Q linux linux-headers`?
