Package: module-assistant Version: 0.10.5 Severity: important Bug #319930 has the same description, but it was closed a year ago during the transtion from kernel-headers-* to linux-headers-*, so I assume it has a completely different cause.
I have the following linux-image- and linux-headers- packages installed: linux-headers-2.6.17-1 2.6.17-4 linux-headers-2.6.17-1-686 2.6.17-4 linux-headers-2.6-686 2.6.17-4 linux-image-2.6.17-1-686 2.6.17-4 linux-image-2.6-686 2.6.17-4 linux-kbuild-2.6.17 2.6.17-2 linux-kernel-headers 2.6.17.6-1 uname -r agrees: 2.6.17-1-686 /usr/src/linux is a symlink to /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.17-1-686. The directories linux-headers-2.6.17-1 and linux-kbuild-2.6.17 also exist. (The symlink was created by m-a's PREPARE menu option.) When I try to build a module with m-a I get, "Bad news, the kernel headers for the target kernel version could not be found and you did not specify other valid kernel headers to use." Then it instructs me to either choose the PREPARE option or install linux-headers-2.6.17-1-686, which is already installed. (PREPARE just tries to download it and says that it is already there.) -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17-1-686 Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages module-assistant depends on: ii libtext-wrapi18n-perl 0.06-5 internationalized substitute of Te ii perl 5.8.8-6 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction Versions of packages module-assistant recommends: ii liblocale-gettext-perl 1.05-1 Using libc functions for internati -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
