Package: kernel-image-2.4.27-1-686-smp
Version: 2.4.27-6
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
I just upgraded to the -6 package from the -2 package, and depmod -ae
spews lots of symbols not resolvable. It appears the modules were
compiled with modversions while the kernel was not.
for instance
spotter@yucs:~$ nm
/lib/modules/2.4.27-1-686-smp/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/apm.o |head
00001d63 t .text.lock.apm
U __global_cli_Rsmp_64576b05
while
spotter@yucs:~$ grep __global_cli /boot/System.map-2.4.27-1-686-smp
c010aa30 T __global_cli
c02679a0 R __kstrtab___global_cli
c0276320 R __ksymtab___global_cli
I have no idea how this package made it into testing, as I'm guessing
that this should render many systems unbootable.
