Followup-For: Bug #437466
Hey,
I didn't really get your second option, so excuse me if my proposal is
similary.
I see a fourth option to fix this: Do what the manpage says.
--kernel-dir
The kernel source directories to be used for builds. You can
specify multiple directories with multiple options or separated by commas or
line separators (e.g using -k "`echo /usr/src/kernel-headers-*`"
). The kernel versions detected in this directories are automatically added
to the list of target kernel versions (see --kvers-list for
details).
The manpage promises to add the kernel versions found in the source dirs
to the --kvers-list option, but module-assistant doesn't.
The attached patch does exactly this.
