Bug#521646: linux-kbuild-2.6: Not possible to rebuild debian/control

[Adrian Glaubitz <glaubitz@physik.fu-berlin.de>]

Hi,

it would be very nice to get some feedback from the maintainers
here. The problem seems very weird to me because the package builds as
long as I do not change the changelog which means I cannot sign the
package finally when I rebuild it.

I have not checked more into details yet, but I presume that the
control-file or some other file of the debian build files is not
regenerated properly after changing the changelog.

Also, I think it's quite unlucky that one of the scripts
(gencontrol.py) depends specifically on python 2.4.


In any case this bug should be fixed soon, I cannot fully backport any
debian kernels to Lenny at the moment without problems. Since
linux-headers package depends on kbuild, I can never install them.


Btw: The bug seems to be similar to 475108. Is it the same ? The
     original poster suggested something with __init__.py
     however.


Best Regards,


Adrian
