Package: kernel-headers-2.6 Severity: minor With this package installed, when you include <sys/params.h> in your program, you will get a severe namespace pollution since <linux/autoconf.h> indirectly gets included and it #undefs all sort of CONFIG_ preprocessor macros (e.g. ELinks using CONFIG_IPV6 macro internally was affected).
This is not a major bug; Gentoo and Debian Woody don't have the problem (asm/params.h doesn't include anything), but <sys/params.h> is probably not standardized anywhere so it's not really specified what exactly happens when you include it. Still, such a wide collateral damage is quite unexpected and wastes some time until it gets discovered what went on... Possible solution would be to grab CONFIG_HZ information at the package build time. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12.5-kam Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
