I think you meant: depend on linux-headers-2.6.26-1-all There is no linux-headers-2.6-all-latest And even that means tying a nice and little package to a specific kernel version, which is probably not such a nice idea. Especially not for those who build their own kernel. For i386 the situation is particualrily bad, as the -all will pull a hosts of other packages. -- Tzafrir Cohen | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | best ICQ# 16849754 | | friend -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
