So there may be some breakage in the package.
That looks to be the case... I don't have any pre-packaged kernel-images on hand except for my old potato cd's. All I have are locally compiled images. My /lib/modules/2.*/build files are links to /usr/src/kernel-source-xx directories. If this is the case (someone who has prepackaged kernel-source debs might check with "dpkg --contents <image-deb> | grep build" and see what it says. If this is the case with them, then this would presume that the kernel-source for that kernel would have been installed. If this is necessary, then the kernel-source should be a Dependency, shouldn't it? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
