That seems reasonable. I guess I had just sort of always treated /usr/src/ as if it was local, even though I probably shouldn't have. > Rob> Now I'm happy to just change my behavior, and unpack the kernels > Rob> I download somewhere else, but I think you're going to see some > Rob> mayhem when this pair of packages is released and other people > Rob> doing something similar suddenly have to treat /usr/src/linux as > Rob> read only without being warned. > > What do you sugggest, modulo maintaining backward > compatibility to people who have old kernel-source packages > installed? I don't really have a good suggestion, but I think that this should be somehow *widely* advertised with the new libc6 arrangement. I don't know if I'd go so far as an actual pause in the postinst, but this could be a fairly serious problem. People who weren't using kernel-headers before (because they never needed it), may be in for a shock. -- Rob Browning <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP fingerprint = E8 0E 0D 04 F5 21 A0 94 53 2B 97 F5 D6 4E 39 30 -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
