Package: exmap-modules-source
Version: 0.10-1
Severity: important
Problem description (taken from m-a's buildlog):
[...]
make KVERS=2.6.22-grml KERNEL_SOURCES=/raid/Grml/kernel/linux-2.6.22-grml
MODVERSIONS=detect KERNEL=linux-2.6.22-grml
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/modules/exmap'
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.22-grml/build M=/usr/src/modules/exmap modules
make: Entering an unknown directory
make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.22-grml/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
make: Leaving an unknown directory
make[2]: *** [kernel_modules] Error 2
[...]
Commandline of m-a:
KPKG_DEST_DIR=/raid/Grml/kernel/ module-assistant -f -l '2.6.22-grml' \
-k /raid/Grml/kernel/linux-2.6.22-grml build exmap-modules
Reason:
You set KERNEL_SOURCES in debian/rules but that's not used anywhere
in upstream's build system. Instead: when building, the Makefile of
upstream uses /lib/modules/$KVERS/build which won't work if that
file/symlink doesn't exist - for example because I'm compiling
against a kernel which isn't installed (yet) as in the example
above. I'm using the '-k' option of m-a therefore but it's ignored
by the build system.
Workaround:
# ln -s $KERNELSOURCE /lib/modules/$KVERS/build
But of course that's only a hack around a bug. ;)

You filled the bug http://bugs.debian.org/432520 in Debian BTS
against the package exmap. I'm closing it at *unstable*, but it will
remain open for older distributions.
For more information about this package's removal, read
http://bugs.debian.org/515573. That bug might give the reasons why
this package was removed and suggestions of possible replacements.
Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.
Thank you for your contribution to Debian.
