Confused? Thats why I included the trace ...
Sorry, I made a typo, I missed an (s) in the subject.
So to recap
(1) I installed package linux-headers-2.6.18-4-k7
(2) I attempted to compile an out of tree kernel module. It complained
about a missing version.h, specifically, gcc could not find
"/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.18-4-k7/include/linux/version.h" on my
computer
(3) This file _is_ in the deb
"linux-headers-2.6.18-4-k7_2.6.18.dfsg.1-12_i386.deb", according to
dpkg-deb -c and according to the packages Debian website.
(4) I extracted
"./usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.18-4-k7/include/linux/version.h" from the
deb using an archiving tool and put it in
"/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.18-4-k7/include/linux" on my computer
(5) I was then able to compile an out of tree kernel module without
any errors
(6) I would assume that I shouldn't have to get a file manually from a
deb in order to compile a kernel module?
Do I need to refile the bug with the correct spelling in the subject?
Or can this one be reopened?
