--- Begin Message ---Package: vaiostat-source Version: 1.2-7 Kernel: 2.6.18-1-686 First a bug I've seen for a while, then secondly one or two details that should probably be made more explicit in the instructions: 1) When I try to compile vaiostat-source, I get these errors: ===START QUOTE==== debian:/usr/src/modules/vaiostat# make rm -f build-stamp [ -x /bin/test ] || plususr=/usr ; \ $plususr/bin/test -w /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.18-1-686/include/config || \ plus='-o include/config/MARKER' ; \ make -C /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.18-1-686 SUBDIRS=/usr/src/modules/vaiostat $plus modules make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.18-1-686' echo 2.6.18-1-686 > /usr/src/modules/vaiostat/build-stamp CC [M] /usr/src/modules/vaiostat/vaiostat.o /usr/src/modules/vaiostat/vaiostat.c:329: error: expected ')' before string constant /usr/src/modules/vaiostat/vaiostat.c:332: error: expected ')' before string constant make[2]: *** [/usr/src/modules/vaiostat/vaiostat.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [_module_/usr/src/modules/vaiostat] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.18-1-686' make: *** [build-stamp] Error 2 debian:/usr/src/modules/vaiostat# ===END QUOTE==== Looking at line 329 and 332, the problem would appear to be the MODULE_PARM entry. A quick google of it suggested that it is deprecated: http://lwn.net/Articles/107303/ So I comment both instances out and I get a good compile: ===START QUOTE==== debian:/usr/src/modules/vaiostat# make clean rm -f *.o *.ko *.mod.c .*.cmd rm -f build-stamp rm -f -r .tmp_versions debian:/usr/src/modules/vaiostat# make rm -f build-stamp [ -x /bin/test ] || plususr=/usr ; \ $plususr/bin/test -w /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.18-1-686/include/config || \ plus='-o include/config/MARKER' ; \ make -C /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.18-1-686 SUBDIRS=/usr/src/modules/vaiostat $plus modules make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.18-1-686' echo 2.6.18-1-686 > /usr/src/modules/vaiostat/build-stamp CC [M] /usr/src/modules/vaiostat/vaiostat.o Building modules, stage 2.

--- Begin Message ---Vaiostat has now been removed from unstable, because nobody stepped forwards to fix it after it had been offered for adoption for more than a year (see bug #321693). The remaining bug reports are thus irrelevant now, so I hereby close them. -- Henning Makholm "Nej, hvor er vi altså heldige! Længe leve vor Buxgører Sansibar Bastelvel!"
