Package: linux-image-2.6.16-1-686
Version: 2.6.16-12
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
The current versions of kernel and gcc in unstable conflict, though
not detected at package load time. This means that it is not possible
to compile loadable kernel modules, which most end-users need to
do at some point (not to mention module developers).
I just did a dist-upgrade from stable to unstable in the last 24 hours.
After that there were serius screen update problems so I tried to install
the nvidia driver (direct from nvidia, the older version I had been using
before). It reported that the version of gcc used to compile
the kernel (4.0) is not the same as the version of gcc on the system
(4.1) and that the kernel module loader would reject any modules built
with gcc 4.1 (and indeed the module was rejected).
Nvidia driver version: NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8762-pkg1.run

2.6.16 is no longer supported. If you install linux-image-2.6-686
you'll always get the latest version. Anyway, closing this bug
report.
