Bug#388721: linux-headers-2.6.18-3-amd64: version.h missing breaks install of non-packaged fglrx
Package: linux-headers-2.6.18-3-amd64
Version: 2.6.18-8
Followup-For: Bug #388721
Because of the above bug, or something very similar to it, fglrx will
not install on debian at present, with a stock kernel and stock headers
(2.6.18-3 image and 2.6.18-3 headers). The fglrx packages work, but I
need to install an old version of fglrx, and because the version is
detected as "" from the headers, this is not possible short of compiling
my own kernel.
Log from ati driver installer:
[Message] Kernel Module : Trying to install a precompiled kernel module.
[Message] Kernel Module : Precompiled kernel module version mismatched.
[Message] Kernel Module : Found kernel module build environment,
generating kernel module now.

Error:
kernel includes at /lib/modules/2.6.18-3-amd64/build/include do not
match current kernel.
they are versioned as ""
instead of "2.6.18-3-amd64".
you might need to adjust your symlinks:
- /usr/include
- /usr/src/linux
[Error] Kernel Module : Failed to compile kernel module - please consult
readme.
Running kernel is from linux-image-2.6.18-3-amd64 (2.6.18-7; headers was
also 2.6.18-7 until just before filing this bug report).
