Recently, libc6 has changed in sid and libc6-dev now needs new linux-kernel-headers. From Debian Weekly News: Split Kernel Header Files. Otto Wyss [46]wondered why [47]libc6-dev suddenly depended on [48]linux-kernel-headers. Mark Brown [49]explained that there have always been some kernel headers included in libc6-dev. They have just been split out into a separate package now. Several of these headers are referenced by headers provided by glibc which would break those headers if linux-kernel-headers is not installed. So you have to install linux-kernel-headers if you have libc6-dev. If you want to check dependiencies type: apt-cache show gaim and check line 'Depends:' Karol -- | Karol Czachorowski <narel(at)fantastyka.net> | | JID: narel(at)jabber.org GG: 2786028 | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
