retitle 359813 linux-headers-2.6.16-1-686: ".kernelrelease" is missing severity 359813 normal thanks
Found the problem. linux-headers-2.6.16-1-686 omits the ".kernelrelease" file. This omission throws off the tp_smapi Makefile; it's using $(KERNELRELEASE) [or the lack thereof] to decide whether it's in the callback submake. I have a workaround modification to tp_smapi now that I understand the problem, and the problem seems to be rare, thus the severity downgrade.
