libc6-dev dependencies

1998-03-29 Thread Matt Thompson
Why does libc6-dev depend specifically on kernel-headers 2.0.32? Why won't 2.0.33 suffice, or kernel-source-2.0.33? It seems that I should only have to have one of any of the kernel headers/source packages installed at any one time. Thanks, Matt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
