Re: Too many levels of symbolic links in linux-headers-2.6.12-1-amd64, k7,...?



Just dealt with the same problem.  For some reason purging the header packages, deleting the archived copies, and then reinstalling them fixes the problem.  At least it did for me.

Hi
   I have tried for some time to compile modules with module-assistant.
Both alsa and nvidia fail with the comment: Too many levels of symbolic
links. Similar description to the following message.
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2005/08/msg01965.html
In the directory
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.12-1-amd64-k8-smp/arch/x86_64
I do ls -la and get
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root   52 2005-08-18 10:45 Makefile ->
../../../linux-headers-2.6.12-1/arch/x86_64/Makefile
but in the directory
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.12-1/arch/x86_64
I do ls -la and get
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root   52 2005-08-18 10:45 Makefile ->
../../../linux- headers-2.6.12-1/arch/x86_64/Makefile
which points to itself if I am not mistaken. Hope I am not spaming your
mailing list.

Sincerely
Gudjon
