Source: linux
Version: 3.16.7-2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I was trying to build the loop-aes-source modules and kept having odd
errors about loop.h-3.x not existing, while for some reason the loop.h-2.6
was there. Of course the build was for a 3.16 kernel and hence wanted
the 3.x file.
Turns out the loop-aes code looks at the linux-headers Makefile for the
VERSION, PATCHLEVEL and SUBVERSION, and use that to determine the kernel
version it is compiling for.
I finally noticed that we have:
/usr/src/linux-headers-3.16.0-4-amd64/Makefile:VERSION = 2
/usr/src/linux-headers-3.16.0-4-amd64/Makefile:PATCHLEVEL = 6
/usr/src/linux-headers-3.16.0-4-common/Makefile:VERSION = 3
/usr/src/linux-headers-3.16.0-4-common/Makefile:PATCHLEVEL = 16
/usr/src/linux-headers-3.16.0-4-common/Makefile:SUBLEVEL = 7
There is no SUBLEVEL in /usr/src/linux-headers-3.16.0-4-amd64/Makefile
which perhaps there should be if it is trying to provide the version
info that the kernel Makefile is known to contain.
The Makefile in the linux package for some reason has debian/rules.real
do this:
@echo 'VERSION = 2' > $(DIR)/Makefile
@echo 'PATCHLEVEL = 6' >> $(DIR)/Makefile
That would seem to be incorrect.
