Package: kernel-package Version: 8.121 Severity: minor Hi,
I was testing some kernel-headers packages today and so at first things looked like this: $ tree /lib/modules/2.4.27-2-sparc64 /lib/modules/2.4.27-2-sparc64 `-- build -> /usr/src/kernel-headers-2.4.27-2-sparc64 I then decided to test the corresponding kernel image, so I did: $ sudo dpkg -i kernel-image-2.4.27-2-sparc64_2.4.27-2_sparc.deb (Reading database ... 41565 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking kernel-image-2.4.27-2-sparc64 (from kernel-image-2.4.27-2-sparc64_2.4.27-2_sparc.deb) ... You are attempting to install a kernel image (version 2.4.27-2-sparc64) However, the directory /lib/modules/2.4.27-2-sparc64 still exists. If this directory belongs to a previous kernel-image-2.4.27-2-sparc64 package, and if you have deselected some modules, or installed standalone modules [... etc ...] IMHO it should not warn if only the build symlink is present, which is standard for all subarch-specific kernel-headers packages.
