Bug#508805: [Debian-eeepc-devel] Bug#508805: rt2860-source: Building rt2860-modules works only for root and fails for non-root users
Yesterday I wrote: [...] As you can see in the first log, the unpatched source runs the command /sbin/depmod -a 2.6.27.10 which a normal user is not allowed to do, whereas _after_ applying the patch the depmod is no longer run and the build succeeds. Hi Glenn, today's apt-get updated my rt2860-source package from version 1.8.0.0-1 to 1.8.0.0-3. With this new version the depmod is no longer run. The build process now succeeds also for a normal user. I was not aware of the newer version when I wrote my last email yesterday. Would you please close bug #508805 as resolved. Many thanks and my apologies for the inconvenience this might have caused. Achim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
