SID/apt-get old kernel sources..



Hi,

I am running 2.6.18 kernel with debian/sid and in need of kernel
headers/source to compile nvidia/ivtv kernel modules. apt-get is not able to
find linux-source-2.6.18* or linux-headers-2.6.18* packages. It is only
pointing to 2.6.21 packages.

Can some body let me know how to get old kernel source/header files using
apt?

Here is my /etc/apt/sources.list file.

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ sid main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ sid main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org sid main

apt output..

$ sudo apt-get install linux-source-2.6.18
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Package linux-source-2.6.18 is not available, but is referred to by another
package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package linux-source-2.6.18 has no installation candidate

Thanks,
Sateesh.
