Package: util-linux Version: 2.12p-3 Severity: normal
I'm not sure what the purpose of the part of 10debian.dpatch that deals with mydev_t. The distributed version tries to determine the type to used based on the version of the kernel includes. The patch unconditionally assumes that the kernel_old_dev_t is defined--which isn't true, for example, on a woody system. Without the patch that part of mount builds fine on woody. The nicest fix would be to either drop or fix the patch, but at a minimum util-linux should declare a versioned dependency on a linux-kernel-header package that provides kernel_old_dev_t (which would prevent backports). Also, the patches will not apply when using the version of dpatch in woody, which suggests that there is a versioned dependency there also. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.10-1-k7 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages util-linux depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libncurses5 5.4-4 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libuuid1 1.36release-1 universally unique id library ii slang1a-utf8 1.4.9dbs-8 The S-Lang programming library wit ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-4 compression library - runtime -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
