package: linux severity: important control: affects -1 src:debootstrap uname presents a two-number version in the experimental kernel packages, e.g.
$ dpkg -l | grep linux-image ii linux-image-3.7-trunk-amd64 3.7.3-1~experimental.1 $ uname -r 3.7-trunk-amd64 This makes it impossible to bootstrap releases older than squeeze (when running an experimental kernel). See bug #642031. As mentioned in that bug report, debootsrap could include a fake-uname LD_PRELOAD, but that is quite ugly, and Joey Hess is understandably reluctant to do that. Please consider using a three-number version for the experimental packages. Thanks, MIke -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
