Subject: linux-source-2.6.18: 2.6.18-7 missing ./debian directory.  make-kpkg fails.
Package: linux-source-2.6.18
Version: 2.6.18-7
Severity: important

*** Please type your report below this line ***

I am unable to configure or compile the kernel using make-kpkg.  The command fails
with the following message:


# make-kpkg --config menuconfig kernel_image
exec make -f /usr/share/kernel-package/ruleset/minimal.mk debian
/usr/share/kernel-package/ruleset/minimal.mk:53: No .config file found
/usr/share/kernel-package/ruleset/minimal.mk:98: *** Please create a .config file.  Stop.
Failed to create a ./debian directory: No such file or directory at /usr/bin/make-kpkg line 1096.


There is indeed no debian directory within the unpacked linux-source-2.6.18 directory.  I see no
information about the method of kernel compilation having changed, so I can only assume that the
package is currently unusable.

I am also assuming it is not a problem with make-kpkg, since the debian directory does exist in
previous linux-source packages (such as 2.6.17) and is only missing in this 2.6.18 one.

The .config file is not provided by the package. You need to create it 
by running one of the configuration targets or reusing the existing 
config file (like /boot/config-*). See the chapter on building a 
custom kernel in the Debian kernel handbook for more details:

http://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/ch-common-tasks.html#s-common-building

As there is no bug here, I'm closing the report. You can request 
further assistance on the debian-user mailing list, found at

http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/

Best regards,
