merge 392554 393024 stop All the FTBFS bugs that suddenly showed up due to linux-kernel-headers 2.6.18 do require the packages to be fixed. I had a brief discussion with Bastian Blank about this in bug #389673 - the syscall macros are no longer available to user space as of 2.6.18. The fixes tend to be simple -- change _syscall* macro usage to syscall() and update the #includes appropriately. A simple example of this is given in my patch to bug 392554 [1]. It seems like fairly simple grunt work to provide patches for all the affected packages. I would be glad to spend some time providing patches for as many bugs as I can. I guess the real challenge is to see if the fixes can be uploaded in time. The release can wait, right? ;) [1] Patch for bug 392554: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi/atarifdisk-syscall.patch?bug=392554;msg=10;att=1 -Ted
