But I might be mistaken. Can somebody help? linux-tree-2.6.12 is a binary package, and thus its build-dependencies are on linux-2.6 source, which should do the right thing, not sure though. Not sure what you really want to do, but in any case, linux-tree-2.6.12 is probably a thing of the paste, you want either the linux-2.6 source package or the linux-source-2.6.12 binary package.
