Hi, There is a problem here: to build the package, the package needs to 1) find the *target* kernel version 2) have the headers for this kernel installed Using KVERS will give you the *installed* kernel version, not the target one. This causes the build to fail on some buildd, where the running kernel is not the target one. I'm a bit unsure on what the solution is: - re-write the package from scratch, and embed everything (source code to build the kernel modules, and user-space libs and binaries) in the xtables-addons-source package ? This means that building the module will build everything ... - Some magic around KVERS ? Even if dirty, AFAICT only solution #1 will work on both builders and local installations.
