aha - you're running glibc 2.0 - sys/acct.h is in the glibc headers, *not* the kernel headers (and furthermore it doesn't reference them). I'm running all the current potato tubulation: frantica:~$ dpkg -l kernel-image-2.2.5 gcc libc6-dev libc6 hi kernel-image-2. 1.00 Linux kernel binary image. ii gcc 2.91.66-1 The GNU (egcs) C compiler. ii libc6-dev 2.1.1-5 GNU C Library: Development libraries and hea ii libc6 2.1.1-5 GNU C Library: Shared libraries and timezone > Robert> I can take over the package for you or at least make an NMU, > > Well, it might be sufficient if I can bounce a few things off you, and if we > both try a thing or two. > > Robert> but I won't have time to make something that autodetects > Robert> 2.0.x/2.2.x to work with both, at least not anytime soon. > > Well, I wrote something simple in Perl for the last package, but Shaleh says > it fails on his box. What does /usr/sbin/compare_kernel_version say for you? Seems like it could work ok: frantica:~$ compare_kernel_version 2.0 || echo true true frantica:~$ compare_kernel_version 2.2 || echo true true frantica:~$ compare_kernel_version 2.4 || echo true frantica:~$ > Robert> I think that shipping a broken-for-2.0.x acct package in potato > Robert> would be acceptable. > > That was all I was shooting for given my limited time.
