Package: linux-kernel-headers
Version: 2.6.18-7
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Way back in the days of bug#220991, the following two lines of code were
added to /usr/include/linux/types.h:
/* For util-linux / cryptoloop. How lame. */
typedef __u32 __kernel_dev_t;
These are no longer needed -- both util-linux and cryptsetup build from
source just fine if I remove them. What's more, having this typedef in
types.h causes an FTBS of uclibc for almost all architectures (arm has
been hacked to make it work) -- see bug#269721, which could be closed
if this code was removed. In fact, it was in trying to build uclibc for
ia64 and i386 that I stumbled across this problem.
Here's the patch:
