Package: gspca-source
Version: 01.00.20-1
Severity: grave
Justification: Makes package uninstallable
Hi,
I just tried installing the gspca kernel module using module-assistant. I use
a custom kernel, downloaded straight from kernel.org, compiled and
installed myself, and because the kernel module package *depends* on a
kernel, the package installation fails for me:
dpkg -Ei /usr/src/gspca-modules-2.6.24.2_01.00.20-1_i386.deb
Selecting previously deselected package gspca-modules-2.6.24.2.
(Reading database ... 178712 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking gspca-modules-2.6.24.2 (from
.../gspca-modules-2.6.24.2_01.00.20-1_i386.deb) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of gspca-modules-2.6.24.2:
gspca-modules-2.6.24.2 depends on linux-image-2.6.24.2 |
kernel-image-2.6.24.2; however:
Package linux-image-2.6.24.2 is not installed.
Package kernel-image-2.6.24.2 is not installed.
dpkg: error processing gspca-modules-2.6.24.2 (--install):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
gspca-modules-2.6.24.2
I had a quick look at other packages that provide -source packages (for
example rt2500), and it looks like the kernel packages should be recommended,
not
depended on. I include a patch to fix this below:
