Package: linux-kernel-headers Version: 2.6.18-7 Severity: normal Tags: patch
Way back in the days of bug#220991, the following two lines of code were added to /usr/include/linux/types.h: /* For util-linux / cryptoloop. How lame. */ typedef __u32 __kernel_dev_t; These are no longer needed -- both util-linux and cryptsetup build from source just fine if I remove them. What's more, having this typedef in types.h causes an FTBS of uclibc for almost all architectures (arm has been hacked to make it work) -- see bug#269721, which could be closed if this code was removed. In fact, it was in trying to build uclibc for ia64 and i386 that I stumbled across this problem. Here's the patch: --- types.h.orig 2007-03-15 18:46:00.000000000 -0600 +++ types.h 2007-03-15 18:46:22.000000000 -0600 @@ -7,8 +7,6 @@ /* For other kernel headers. */ # include <linux/posix_types.h> # include <asm/types.h> -/* For util-linux / cryptoloop.
