Package: kernel-package Version: 8.135 Severity: important kernel-package seems to purge ./debian/ before unapplying patches during the clean process. This raises a problem with complex patches. For instance, the suspend2 patch stores some information in debian/APPLIED_suspend2 which it needs to unapply itself. Since kernel-package purges all of ./debian/ prematurely, kernel-patch-suspend2 fails to unapply during the clean process.
In addition, patches may actually modify ./debian, so they will fail to unapply when the files underneath are not there anymore. Please delay purging of ./debian until after patches have been unapplied. Since ./debian is created before patches are applied, this is the logical stack-way to do it. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (600, 'testing'), (98, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.11-cirrus Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages kernel-package depends on: ii dpkg 1.10.28 Package maintenance system for Deb ii dpkg-dev 1.10.28 Package building tools for Debian ii gcc [c-compiler] 4:3.3.5-3 The GNU C compiler ii gcc-3.3 [c-compiler] 1:3.3.5-13 The GNU C compiler ii gcc-3.4 [c-compiler] 3.4.3-13 The GNU C compiler ii gcc-4.0 [c-compiler] 4.0.0-9 The GNU C compiler ii make 3.80-9 The GNU version of the "make" util ii perl 5.8.4-8 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction -- no debconf information -- .''`. martin f. krafft <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : :' : proud Debian developer and author: http://debiansystem.info `. `'` `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing a system Invalid/expired PGP subkeys?
