Package: linux-headers-5.10.0-14-amd64 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: i...@heston.ca

Why force the user to muddy their build environment? -- System Information: Debian Release: 11.6 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.10.0-14-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU threads) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_CA:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages linux-headers-5.10.0-14-amd64 depends on: pn linux-compiler-gcc-10-x86 <none> pn linux-headers-5.10.0-14-common <none> pn linux-kbuild-5.10 <none> linux-headers-5.10.0-14-amd64 recommends no packages.
