Subject: linux-source-2.6.18: 2.6.18-7 missing ./debian directory. make-kpkg
fails.
Package: linux-source-2.6.18
Version: 2.6.18-7
Severity: important
*** Please type your report below this line ***
I am unable to configure or compile the kernel using make-kpkg. The command
fails
with the following message:
# make-kpkg --config menuconfig kernel_image
exec make -f /usr/share/kernel-package/ruleset/minimal.mk debian
/usr/share/kernel-package/ruleset/minimal.mk:53: No .config file found
/usr/share/kernel-package/ruleset/minimal.mk:98: *** Please create a .config
file. Stop.
Failed to create a ./debian directory: No such file or directory at
/usr/bin/make-kpkg line 1096.
There is indeed no debian directory within the unpacked linux-source-2.6.18
directory. I see no
information about the method of kernel compilation having changed, so I can
only assume that the
package is currently unusable.
I am also assuming it is not a problem with make-kpkg, since the debian
directory does exist in
previous linux-source packages (such as 2.6.17) and is only missing in this
2.6.18 one.

The .config file is not provided by the package. You need to create it
by running one of the configuration targets or reusing the existing
config file (like /boot/config-*). See the chapter on building a
custom kernel in the Debian kernel handbook for more details:
http://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/ch-common-tasks.html#s-common-building
As there is no bug here, I'm closing the report. You can request
further assistance on the debian-user mailing list, found at
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/
