Package: cloop-src
Version: 2.01.5-1
The cloop-src package fails to build its modules with certain kernel revisions:
$ MODULE_LOC=../modules-686 fakeroot make-kpkg --append_to_version -2-686
--added_modules cloop modules_image

The reason might be that this check for kernel 2.6 is too unspecific:
cloop/Makefile:38
ifneq ($(shell grep 'UTS.*2.6' $(KERNEL_DIR)/include/linux/version.h),)
When trying this on my kernel 2.4.27-2-686, it matches, but shouldn't:
$ grep --color 'UTS.*2.6' build-686/include/linux/version.h
#define UTS_RELEASE "2.4.27-2-686"
^^^ # the substring '2-6' matches '2.6'
Replacing the regexp with something more specific like this:
'UTS[^0-9]*2\.6\.'
fixed the bug for me.
The Makefile in the current version of cloop-src, 2.01.5-2, still
contains the regexp in question. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to
reproduce the bug there, so I am not sure if it has been fixed otherwise.
Sorry for the delay in reporting this - I hope this information is still
useful to you.
