Hi, today, I was discussing with Michael and at some point he was complaining about the missing linux-kbuild-3.5 package in the Debian software archives. He was not able to install linux-headers-3.5 Debian package as it depends on it.
So, this is for you, Michael. Hope this helps others as well. Regards, - Sedat -
