Package: kernel-headers-2.4.27-1-686 Version: 2.4.27-2 Severity: normal In attempting to build modules for vmware, the makefile in the kernel headers directory is consulted. This is actually linked to the makefile included in kernel-headers-2.4.27-1, with a symlink.
Unfortunately, it's broken. There are two apparently unconditional includes in the makefile, at line 268 and line 551, for the architecture, and for Rules.make. Rules.make prolly ought to be included in the -2.4.27-1 package, then symlinked from -2.4.27-1-686. arch ... perhaps should be included in the -2.4.27-1-686 package directly? The workaround is to install the corresponding kernel-source package and symlink. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.27-1-686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C Versions of packages kernel-headers-2.4.27-1-686 depends on: ii coreutils [fileutils] 5.2.1-2 The GNU core utilities ii fileutils 5.2.1-2 The GNU file management utilities ii kernel-headers-2.4.27-1 2.4.27-2 Header files related to Linux kern -- no debconf information
