what causes kernel header files to disappear?

Every so often, when I try to compile something, I find that some header file in /usr/src/linux/include/linux OR /usr/src/linux/include/net is missing and I need to rm -rf the kernel sources and replace them with a fresh tarball. What causes the headers to just disappear when I did not mess with

Hi! /usr/include/* are part of libc package. AFAIK you have to upgrade libc to have newer /usr/include/* I had the same problem several days ago and asked here if it is safe to upgrade to libc-2.1 from potato to have 2.2 kernel headers. The answers were, that in general with standard Debian softwar

I have not been able to find any documentation on how to upgrade the /usr/include/* header files for the kernel after upgrading to the 2.2.10 version of the kernel. Any pointers to how and/or the correct documentation? I have already used make-kpkg kernel_install and make-kpkg kernel_headers, o

Hi, I understand Debian does not use links for directories such as /usr/include/linux to /usr/src/linux/include/linux etc but they are in the libc6-dev package. Is there any easy way to upgrade these header files without recompiling all of glibc with the new header files? I mean, I could just rm

I don't know why there is a libc5-dev. If I install a new kernel, it comes with its only kernel headers. Is it necessary to install lib5-dev in order to compile programs. Also, if I install libc5-dev, can I still install a newer version of linux kernel whenever it is available. libc5-dev: The L
