Package: linux-source-5.8 Version: 5.8.10-1 Severity: serious Tags: ftbfs Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)
When compiling a static kernel (i.e. with no LKMs), which I have done many times before, deb-pkg fails after the compiling has finished unless the file Module.symvers is present in the source directory. It does not matter if the file is empty, which it will be if no modules are being used. -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.8.10-20201015 (SMP w/2 CPU threads) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_GB:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages linux-source-5.8 depends on: ii binutils 2.35.1-1 ii xz-utils 5.2.4-1+b1 Versions of packages linux-source-5.8 recommends: ii bc 1.07.1-2+b2 ii bison 2:3.7.2+dfsg-1 ii flex 2.6.4-8 ii gcc 4:10.2.0-1 ii libc6-dev [libc-dev] 2.31-3 pn linux-config-5.8 <none> ii make 4.3-4 Versions of packages linux-source-5.8 suggests: ii libncurses-dev [ncurses-dev] 6.2+20200918-1 pn pkg-config <none> pn qtbase5-dev <none> -- no debconf information
