Package: linux-headers-2.6.16-1-686
Version: 2.6.16-4
Severity: important
The 2.6.16-1-686 headers package does not allow the build of a simple
third-party module, in this case "tp_smapi".
The failure mode is particularly mystifying: it is an apparently
"successful" accomplishment of nothing at all:
$ make
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.16-1-686/build M=/stuff/tp/tp_smapi-0.17 modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.16-1-686'
Building modules, stage 2.
MODPOST
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.16-1-686'
That's it.
I asked the maintainer of tp_smapi for help, and he reported that he could
not reproduce this failure on his (non-Debian) 2.6.16 kernel tree. And of
course I built tp_smapi with the 2.6.15 header package, without problems.
PS: module-assistant still thinks that the 2.6.16-1-686 headers are
"unconfigured"; this is not a problem for me but in case it's
relevant I figured I should mention it.
