I'm not quite sure I believe that; the machine I have that uses
lm-sensors doesn't have that directory. What does 'dpkg -S
/usr/local/include/linux' have? Is the directory an actual directory
No result.
or a symlink to your kernel source tree?
No, it is a real directory.
THe thing is, the kernel module that I needed wasn't in the package, so
I had to install the lm-sensors-source package. The Makefile wanted to
put the lm-sensor include files in /usr/local/include, which didn't
exist yet. So it created this directory, but with the wrong permissions.
Is this a package bug? Or is it my own fault? (Maybe I shouldn't have
installed the lm-sensors stuff as root? (How else then? ;-))
Using kernel-package and following the directions in
/usr/share/doc/lm-sensors-source/README.Debian; you don't need root
proper (though you do need fakeroot to build packages) until you're
getting around to installing packages. How did you do it?
See above. I ran make as root, as far as I remember (it's a couple of
weeks ago).
