Re: problem compiling pcmcia with 2.4.20 kernel (testing distribution)

[Naomi Ridge <naomi_ridge@yahoo.co.uk>]

Hi,

thanks for the fixes. Using GCC 3.2 solved the problem
with the compilation. However I am now encountering
problems when I try to install the modules:

dpkg -i
pcmcia-modules-2.4.20_3.1.33-6woody1+custom.1.2_i386.deb
(Reading database ... 61989 files and directories
currently installed.)
Unpacking pcmcia-modules-2.4.20 (from
pcmcia-modules-2.4.20_3.1.33-6woody1+custom.1.2_i386.deb)
...
dpkg: error processing
pcmcia-modules-2.4.20_3.1.33-6woody1+custom.1.2_i386.deb
(--install):
 trying to overwrite
`/lib/modules/2.4.20/pcmcia/serial_cs.o', which is
also in package kernel-image-2.4.20
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken
pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:

pcmcia-modules-2.4.20_3.1.33-6woody1+custom.1.2_i386.deb

Further suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Naomi.
