Really? nvidia-kernel-source is a .tar.gz here. > I'm not sure whether I should fix this bug in rt2500 and the other > Ralink driver packages, or whether module-assistant should be changed to > depend on bzip2 (or to install it along with build-essential). I wouldn't expect rt2500-source to depend on bzip2 any more than I expect any package providing a PDF file to depend on a viewer. However, tools that use those files definitely have a dependency ie module-assistant.
