Right, you have installed kernel-package from Etch/sid in a Sarge

On an etch/sid system.  I have been pinned to etch for a long time

Thanks Michelle, I got through the packages and try to figure out what

 I must be doing something very wrong here.
 


I tried kernel-package_8.135_all.deb. make-kpkg clean does not give
the above errors. The kernel compiles with --bzimage but fails if I
change to --initrd.

I must have installed some packages from the unstable branch and they
are screwing up kernel-package, somehow.  I hope it will straighten
itself out in a week or so.

Ritesh,

  I believe that all this info is held in the stamp-* files in the root

Do you have the environment variable $CC set to something else? What
does the following print?

  ${CC:-gcc} --print-libgcc-file-name

This is essentially what dpkg does to find the architecture, and the
not in remapping table message indicates that that's gone wrong.

Having gcc 3.0.2 as the default /usr/bin/gcc suggests you're not using

Having gcc 3.0.2 as the default /usr/bin/gcc suggests you're not using
Debian's normal gcc setup, so something may still be awry.

You are right. I had originally installed potato rev 3. I have a very 
limited and slow internet connection and cannot
do an upgrade via the NET. What I can do is download individual packages 
and sometimes copy somewhere other

than a Debian source(for apt) and install them.
So what I have now installed is

$ dpkg --list | grep gcc

ri gcc 2.95.4-6 The GNU C compiler.
ri gcc-2.95 2.95.4-0.01090 The GNU C compiler.
ii gcc-3.0 3.0.2-0pre0109 The GNU C compiler.
ii gcc-3.0-base 3.0.2-0pre0109 The GNU Compiler Collection (base package).
ri libgcc1 3.0.2-0pre0109 GCC support library.
ri libgcc300 3.0-0pre010403 Shared libgcc.

 and I created a symlink

/usr/bin/gcc - gcc-3.0

Anyway, this is just an exercise for me(the mk-kpkg thing). Thank you 
so much for your patience.


I am never giving up though. Any hints as to solve this is greatly 
appreciated.


Thanks a lot, Colin Watson.

Your architecture seems to be misrecognized. If you aren't able to

make-kpkg --arch i386 clean

This is normally used for cross compiling. Of course it would be

Re: make-kpkg problem

1997-07-19 Thread Manoj Srivastava
Hi,

Yes, this is th expected behaviour. make-kpkg clean should
 always be done before building a new kernel, and make-kpkg makes sure
 to always re-institute the include/asm link during the build.

make-kpkg dep is not required (it is not a valid argument
 anyway).

Why would one want the asm link any way (apart from while
 building the kernel, which is taken care of)?

 I extracted kernel-source-2.0.30_2.0.30-7.deb so that I can home-brew a
 kernel.  There is a problem in that when I do a make-kpkg clean it
 actually does a make mrproper and amongst other things I lose my
 include/asm link.  A make clean works as expected.

What include/asm link?

If you are talking about a link from /usr/include/asm to 
/usr/src/linux/include/asm-i386 and from /usr/include/linux to 
/usr/src/linux/include/linux, etc, then the solution is simple:  Those 
links should never have been made in the first place.  The README that 
comes with the kernel sources is in error.

The issue is discussed in the libc5-dev or libc6-dev packages' 
FAQ.Debian file in the /usr/doc hierarchy.  If you have the libc5 or 
libc6 development packages installed, check the FAQ.  Even Linus 
himself now says that while those links were a good idea at one point, 
they no longer are, and with libc6, they are -decidedly- the wrong 
thing to do.

For libc6, the API to the library and the API to the kernel were 
intentionally divided, so that the library could provide support for 
services the kernel doesn't yet have -- but will -- without breaking 
programs that need to use those services (example:  libc6 has support 
for more than 32 signals.  The kernel interface allows only 32 signals. 
 When the kernel allows more than 32 signals, all you have to do is 
update your libc6, not recompile every program in existence because a 
very common, fundamental, data structure changed).  Making those links 
could cause programs compiled under libc6 fail, because they are using 
the wrong interfaces.

If that wasn't the include/asm link you were referring to, I apologize 
for subjecting you to this rant.


If you made those links, you might want to re-install the libc 
development package so the proper
 
 Is this intended?  I have looked at the code but cannot spot the reason
 for this behaviour.  Using kernel-package_3.35.
 
 The docs say nothing about make-kpkg dep.  What is the correct
 procedure here?
