Yeah, that's why I wanted to fix the package in the first place. > pcmcia-cs (source, alpha, arm, i386, ia64, powerpc) is buggy! (1 > 0) I don't think this line was there before. The bug in question is tagged woody so it shouldn't be counted. I suspect that this is the same problem that Björn is asking about. > I wonder why it thinks the pcmcia-modules packages are out of date? The problem is, I think, that all the pcmcia-modules-* packages use pcmcia-cs as their source package. This means that if their version numbers are behind that of the source, they will be considered out-of-date, because we only rebuild the modules for the latest kernel. The obvious solution would be to have a separate source package for each module set, e.g. pcmcia-modules-2.4.25-i386. Brian didn't like this because these packages would mostly be copies of the kernel-image-* packages, but I think that would be better than it is now anyway. > Maybe the old modules packages it lists need to be removed from unstable; > the new 2.4.25 ones seem to have not been accepted yet though. Yes, I have already filed bugs against ftp.debian.org (#234797 and #236905). -- Pelle
