Re: Is it possible to install older linux-headers on Debian 8

[Dhiraj Bhor <dhirajbhor21@gmail.com>]

One quick question:

If ata.h is missing from latest package then which file is replacement for it?

May be i need to ask this on libc-help mailing list but asking if anyone knows about it.

I am not in position to take first option.

I have tried second option but it gave me error like

$ sudo dpkg -i linux-kernel-headers_2.6.18-7_i386.deb

Selecting previously unselected package linux-kernel-headers.

dpkg: regarding linux-kernel-headers_2.6.18-7_i386.deb containing linux-kernel-headers:

 linux-libc-dev:i386 conflicts with linux-kernel-headers

  linux-kernel-headers (version 2.6.18-7) is to be installed.

dpkg: error processing archive linux-kernel-headers_2.6.18-7_i386.deb (--install):

 conflicting packages - not installing linux-kernel-headers

Errors were encountered while processing:

 linux-kernel-headers_2.6.18-7_i386.deb

Googling does not show much help.

Do i need to do something else?

<linux/ata.h> should translate to /usr/include/linux/ata.h, unless scons
does some black magic with includes location.

/usr/include/linux belongs to linux-libc-dev package, not kernel
headers.

Since co-installing different versions of linux-libc-dev is not possible
in current stable Debian (jessie), you have the following options:

1) Use debootstap to make a chroot of older Debian version (presumably,
squeeze or older, as wheezy's linux-libc-dev does not have linux/ata.h).

2) Try to install an old linux-libc-dev (presumably, from squeeze),
possibly breaking your current installation beyond repair.
