Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: module-assistant
I want to build open-vm-source for a system running Intrepid and linux-
kernel-virtual. However, linux-headers-virtual pulls in linux-
headers-2.6.27-7-server, and the linux-image-2.6.27-7-virtual package
uses a mixture of -server and -virtual for various files and folders
(importantly, -server for /lib/modules/...). This seems to confuse m-a.
If I do "m-a -l 2.6.27-7-server build open-vm-source" then I get a
package which depends on linux-image-2.6.27-7-server, so I can't install
it.
I get the same result with "m-a -l 2.6.27-7-virtual -k /usr/src/linux-
headers-2.6.27-7-server build open-vm-source".
