Because you have to use the same compiler version that was used to compile the kernel in order to compile modules. And the linux-headers package allows you to compile modules, so it makes sense to depend on the gcc version used to compile the kernel. You don't have to install linux-headers though. The linux-image package doesn't depend on it. -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
