Package: linux-headers-3.16.0-4-amd64
Version: 3.16.7-ckt20-1+deb8u4
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
When installing a linux-headers package, a Makefile is installed for compiling
external modules (e.g. /usr/src/linux-headers-3.16.0-4-amd64/Makefile)
the syntax in this Makefile is not compatible with the version of make in
jessie (4.0-8.1)
the symptom is the following message when compling an external module:
Makefile:10: *** mixed implicit and normal rules: deprecated syntax
the problem is fixed with the following patch:
herbelot@ascain:tmp$ diff -Nau Makefile.ori Makefile.new

The patch is also applicable to more recent versions of the package (for

the patch is valid for linux-headers-4.6.0-rc3-amd64_4.6~rc3-1~exp1_amd64.deb)
