Okay, let's try to simplify this situation. As previously stated, I am
attempting to upgrade my kernel on a LMDK 8.0 box. The Mandrake security
recommendation states to upgrade to kernel-2.4.18.8.2mdk-1-3mdk. OK,
simple enough, I wget the kernel src rpm, and build my rpm binaries. OK,
so far? Now I realize there are is NO kernel headers rpm. My LMDK 8.0
has the upgraded glibc rpms, i.e. glibc-2.2.2-6.1mdk (glibc, profile,
and devel included). OK, so far? Now where do I find the version of
kernel headers that match my glibc level? And, Charles, are you saying
that is must be named kernel-headers with the current glibc version
numbers in the name, i.e. kernel-headers-2.2.2-6.1mdk? Mandrake has lost
me, please refer me to the documentation on this radical change in
building a set of kernel rpms. I have searched high and low only to find
nothing, not even on the mandrake kernel upgrade page. Thanks to all who
are contributing to this thread. I fear James may be right in saying
that mandrake has foobarred us with this new strategy. I hope I am
wrong....
