Hmm, while speaking of the "kernel-headers" packet... Why does it
install in /usr/include after all?
Would it not be better to have static symlinks pointing:
/usr/include/asm -> /usr/src/linux/include/asm
/usr/include/linux -> /usr/src/linux/include/linux
/usr/include/scsi -> /usr/src/linux/include/scsi
while contents of kernel-headers-x.y.z-Xmdk install to
/usr/src/linux/linux-x.y.z-Xmdk/include/
and let some package upon -i or -U (or /etc/init.d/mandrake_everytime)
set the symlink /usr/src/linux -> /usr/src/linux-<correct-version>
when it does not exist? (/usr/src/linux -> /usr/src/linux-`uname -r`)
That may even be an dangling symlink when "kernel-headers-`uname -r`"
is not installed.
