dpkg -l kernel-headers-2.2.19pre17
  turned up nothing

apt-get install kernel-headers-2.2.19pre17
  seemed to work and left me with:

kernel-headers-2.2.19pre17-compact
kernel-headers-2.2.19pre17-idepci
  but not
kernel-headers-2.2.19pre17

as determined by ls /usr/src

build_deb from ltmodem-5.99b still couldn't find kernel headers

TIA for either what to do or what to read.


Thanks,

Paul
