I have delayed the update of my file server from 14.04LTS which I did yesterday. That upgrade totally broke ZFS.
I have tried everything I found on this site, like:
I tried:
sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:zfs-native/stable
sudo apt clean
Then: apt-get install zfsutils-linux
returns:
zfsutils-linux is already the newest version (0.6.5.6-0ubuntu28).
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
zfs-zed : Depends: libnvpair1linux but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libzfs2linux but it is not going to be installed
zfsutils-linux : Depends: libnvpair1linux but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libuutil1linux but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libzfs2linux but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libzpool2linux but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).'
So I try
sudo apt-get -f install
And now I get:
After this operation, 1,775 kB of additional disk space will be used.

OK, some improvements, through a combination of dpkg, apt and apt-get commands I was able to remove the dependency errors.
NOW, the issue is something that has been documented but the solutions haven't helped me.
First I did this: reboot
apt clean
apt update
apt purge zfs*
apt-get remove spl dkms spl-dkms
apt-get autoremove
reboot
sudo apt-get install zfsutils-linux zfs-initramfs spl-dkms
(I added zfs-initramfs because it was suggested)

I get an error:
ERROR (dkms apport): kernel package linux-headers-3.13.0-181-generic is not supported
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 3.13.0-181-generic (x86_64)
Consult /var/lib/dkms/zfs/0.6.5.6/build/make.log for more information.
What do I do now? Do I have a kernel issue?
