I have no idea what you mean by #include <hallo.h>

Something's definitely broken...
   

If you wish to see anything fixed, send some userful info. I do not care
about the fact that it broke on the PC from your sister, from your dog,
from your facitlity manager or whoever. I need to know:
- what exactly have you done? which commands did you use?
Just m-a build nvidia (as explained in the first report).
If you try to
  build before the GET step... though luck
 

I have no idea what's the GET step.
- what happens in the C locale? (do "export LANG=C")
 

What happens above.
- kernel version of the PC where it actually breaks
 

2.6.8 (abinames are in the system information section).
However I just tested on my sister's PC with 2.4.27-1-386 and the same 
thing happens.

- version of the nvidia module involved
 

Friend's laptop has the only ones available, those in Sid (1.0.6629+1). 
My friend installed Sarge on his laptop yesterday, so everything's very 
fresh.

- permissions situation and free disk space issues! This is important,
  I have seen people reporting random crap because they were out of space
 

As I said this happens on two different PCs. Both have large free space. 
Nothing points to a disk space problem.

Regards,
Eduard.
 

Thanks for your reply too.
To Eduards : I'd like to tell you however that I do not entirely 
appreciate your reply, in particular

If you wish to see anything fixed, send some userful info
I'm not sending this report because I want to fix my little problems. I 
worked around the problem and cared enough to warn you that something is 
broken. Nothing in /usr/share/doc/module-assistant mentions how bugs 
should be reported. I am not familiar at all with kernel stuff and admit 
that I may have skipped some obviously needed info (such as nvidia 
version...). Therefore I find it mean to imply that what I sent was 
useless info. I don't care though, this is just to tell you how that 
might be perceived by others. I also understand that you don't care 
about my dog, family and which christmas presents I got. I knew that 
writing the reports and think I did use this information minimally, only 
to name the PCs and underline that I didn't hunt for broken PCs at the 
other end of the World, the broken PCs are the first PCs I tried. Of 
course this is irrelevant if I did something wrong.

Thanks again,
Philippe.
