Public bug reported:
Hi,
I would like to see a meta-package for linux kernel headers. I have
several apps installed which require the header files of the kernel, eg,
virtualbox:
* Running DKMS auto installation service for kernel 2.6.31-9-generic
* vboxdrv (3.0.4)...
vboxdrv (3.0.4):
Installing module.
Kernel headers for 2.6.31-9-generic are not installed. Cannot install this
module.
Try installing linux-headers-2.6.31-9-generic or equivalent.
[fail]
* vboxnetadp (3.0.4)...
vboxnetadp (3.0.4):
Installing module.
Kernel headers for 2.6.31-9-generic are not installed. Cannot install this
module.
Try installing linux-headers-2.6.31-9-generic or equivalent.
[fail]
* vboxnetflt (3.0.4)...
vboxnetflt (3.0.4):
Installing module.
Kernel headers for 2.6.31-9-generic are not installed. Cannot install this
module.
Try installing linux-headers-2.6.31-9-generic or equivalent.
[fail]
run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postinst.d/nvidia-common
I need to manually install the header files, if a meta-package would
become available, I only need to have the linux-header meta-package
installed and when a kernel upgrade is needed, the header files will be
installed as well, making sure virtualbox and other can make use of
them.
My request is to mimic the linux-image meta-packages for the kernel
headers.
