Package: linux-headers-2.6.16-1-686-smp Version: 2.6.16-2 Followup-For: Bug #358512
I see the same problems with module-assistant. I suspect that m-a is in the wrong here, but perhaps more information on what changed re. version.h files is helpful: $ cd /usr/src $ find linux-headers-2.6.16-1* -name version.h linux-headers-2.6.16-1/include/linux/dvb/version.h linux-headers-2.6.16-1/include/pcmcia/version.h linux-headers-2.6.16-1/include/sound/version.h linux-headers-2.6.16-1-686-smp/include/linux/version.h $ find linux-headers-2.6.15-1* -name version.h linux-headers-2.6.15-1/include/linux/dvb/version.h linux-headers-2.6.15-1/include/linux/version.h linux-headers-2.6.15-1/include/pcmcia/version.h linux-headers-2.6.15-1/include/sound/version.h linux-headers-2.6.15-1-686-smp/include/linux/version.h So, in .15 a linux/version.h was included in the .15-1 headers package, and is no longer available in the .16 revision. That version.h file differs from the .15-1-686-smp file: $ diff -u linux-headers-2.6.15-1/include/linux/version.h \ linux-headers-2.6.15-1-686-smp/include/linux/version.h --- linux-headers-2.6.15-1/include/linux/version.h 2006-03-06 13:29:16.000000000 +0100 +++ linux-headers-2.6.15-1-686-smp/include/linux/version.h 2006-03-06 13:31:48.000000000 +0100 @@ -1,3 +1,3 @@ -#define UTS_RELEASE "2.6.15-1" +#define UTS_RELEASE "2.6.15-1-686-smp" #define LINUX_VERSION_CODE 132623 #define KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) (((a) << 16) + ((b) << 8) + (c)) The UTS_RELEASE matches the header-package name. For some reason (perhaps a wrong one) module-assistant wants to use that UTS_RELEASE version for it's purposes. I'll also assume it was removed for a reason (the lack of a 2.6.15-1 kernel image comes to mind; they all have an arch suffix). -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-1-686-smp Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages linux-headers-2.6.16-1-686-smp depends on: ii linux-headers-2.6.16-1 2.6.16-2 Common header files for Linux kern linux-headers-2.6.16-1-686-smp recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
