The key part would seem to be this:

And the real answer to this would be to convert this package to
use m-a rather than it's home-grown alternative (which predates
the availability of m-a).

Installing matching headers for your kernel is the short term
workaround.

I'm not really sure what to do with this one now.  Popcon shows a
rather surprising number of users, but I have a hard time believing
it.  The laptop I had with one of these in it is all but dead, and
I'm not aware of anything newer using these.

I'm tempted to just have the package removed, as I can't usefully
test it anymore, but if some actual users put their hand up and
give it some actual love, I don't mind continuing to sponsor its
presence in the distro...

Cheers,
Ron
