Description:
libc-kheaders - Header files related to a specific Linux kernel.
Changes:
kernel-source (2.1.109-1) unstable; urgency=low
.
* This is a major change in the source/header packages. In architectures
different from i386, `kernel-headers-*' and `kernel-source-*' are
incompatible. This also has an effect on libc6-dev, which depends on
kernel-headers-2.0.3x | kernel-source-2.0.3x, which is only true on
i386 architectures. One possible solution would be to make libc6-dev
depend on kernel-headers-2.0.32, but that won't work because
kernel-source provides kernel-headers. In fact, since kernel-headers
are arch dependent, but kernel-source is arch: all, kernel-source-*
should not provide kernel-header* at all.
.
Once kernel source stops providing kernel-header*, and libc6-dev
depends on kernel-headers-2.0.32 and links /usr/include/{linux,asm} to
/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.0.32 (nor /usr/src/linux-2.0.32) things
would work again in a Multi arch compatible fashion.
.
Hence, now kernel-source-* packages compiled with this kernel-package
shall not provide any sort of kernel-headers. For the sake of
backwards compatibility, /usr/src/linux-$version symlinks are still
being provided (as people may upload newer kernels while keeping an
older libc6-dev around, which depends on /usr/src/linux-2.0.32.
.
However, I have been badgered enough about this that I shall remove
the /usr/src/linux-$version symlinks at some point. This version no
longer registers stuff in /usr/src/.linux-versions, and is no longer
as paranoid about /usr/src/linux; but it does not outright remove
those files either, so as not to cause people with older kernels
having a problem during removal.As soon as it is deemed permissible,
we shall get less paranoid about /usr/src/linux-$version as well.
