Package: module-assistant
Version: 0.11.2
Severity: important
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
With the last kernel from git (build with kernel-package 12.032),
module-assistant don't find the headers and try to download the
linux-headers-2.6.33-rc4-next package (which doesn't exist).
The problem is that the new kernel no longer put the utsrelease.h file
in include/linux/ but in include/generated/ now.
The way to fix this is to add the new location in initksrc().
A possible patch for that is attached.
