Package: kernel-patch-mppe Version: 2.4.2+20040216-4 Severity: important
Dear Maintainer, The kernel-patch for mppe in sarge (and sid) fails to apply to 2.6.x.y kernels from kernel.org. As you can see in the message below, 2.6.12.1 does not match any of the kernel versions in /usr/src/kernel-patches/all/apply/mppe. Adding 2.6.12.1 to the KVERSIONS array resolves this issue. I'm not sure if adding a bunch of kernel versions to that array would be an options (like 2.6.20 is in there currently), but I'd rather leave that issue up to you. Please fix the situation. One idea would be to match only the first three kernel version numbers (e.g. 2.6.12, not 2.6.12.1), since the stable releases do not change much.
