Package: kernel-package
Version: 12.036+nmu3
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
trying to build a Linux 3.9 kernel here.
Grab source, unpack, config, `fakeroot make-kpkg --us --uc -j 8 --revision \
10.02.rw binary-inarch`. Builds without errors, good.
The newly-generated linux-headers package is not installable, though:
# dpkg -i /usr/local/src/kernel/linux-headers-3.9.2_10.02.rw_amd64.deb
...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of linux-headers-3.9.2:
linux-headers-3.9.2 depends on libc6-amd64 (>= 2.7).
...
# dpkg -l libc6-amd64

||/ Name Version Architecture Description
+++-==============-============-============-=================================
ii libc6-amd64 2.13-38 i386 Embedded GNU C Library: 64bit Sha
And there is no libc6-amd64 for amd64:
# apt-get -s install libc6-amd64:amd64
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package libc6-amd64 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
libc6
E: Package 'libc6-amd64' has no installation candidate
# apt-get -s install libc6:amd64
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
libc6 is already the newest version.
I guess it should depend on libc6:amd64 instead of libc6-amd64:amd64, which
looks like kernel-package not being properly multiarch-aware.
Editing /usr/share/kernel-package/Control (hence the debsums error below) like
Package: =ST-headers-=V
Architecture: any
#Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.13-38)
produces the desired result (installable/usable linux-headers package), but
is clearly an ugly hack and not a proper solution.
Other packages installed that I think might be relevant:
ii dpkg-dev 1.16.10 all Debian package development tools
ii gcc 4:4.7.2-1 amd64 GNU C compiler
ii kernel-package 12.036+nmu3 all A utility for building Linux kern
