Bug#273878: kernel-headers-2.4.27-1-686: dangling includes in makefile
Package: kernel-headers-2.4.27-1-686
Version: 2.4.27-2
Severity: normal
In attempting to build modules for vmware, the makefile in the kernel
headers directory is consulted. This is actually linked to the makefile
included in kernel-headers-2.4.27-1, with a symlink.
Unfortunately, it's broken. There are two apparently unconditional includes
in the makefile, at line 268 and line 551, for the architecture, and for
Rules.make.
Rules.make prolly ought to be included in the -2.4.27-1 package, then
symlinked from -2.4.27-1-686. arch ... perhaps should be included in the
-2.4.27-1-686 package directly?
The workaround is to install the corresponding kernel-source package and
symlink.
