Bug#394974: linux-image-2.6.18-1-686: 2.6.18-3 breaks module compatability
Package: linux-image-2.6.18-1-686
Version: 2.6.18-3
Severity: important
Module compat has been broken between this version and the previous.
This should not happen when the package name is being kept the same, if
module compat needs to be broken the package should become
linux-image-2.6.18-(n+1)-686
This is the 3rd time this has happened in probably the last year, could
this be added to a pre-release checklist to prevent it happening again?
Richard.
