In Debian 9 Stretch, I am seeing this bug
(https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=987266).
This means that when I try to use a kernel with a revision later than 254 i get
an error, e.g. I'm trying to use a 4.14.264 kernel.
It seems like this is a simple fix, (e.g. just take the offending block out,
https://salsa.debian.org/glibc-team/glibc/-/commit/b3c76cf1cd0c8b6e4844c6362a45143c136a2900).
If that was acceptable, how would I go about getting this into LTS? Happy to do
a little work on it if I knew what to do.
You can workaround this by setting an ABI like Debian does, e.g. 4.14.0-n.
However that would only work if you have control over that.
I'll take a look at this though. I'd prefer if this went into bullseye/buster
before touching it in stretch. For now you could ping that bug as well (even if
you're in stretch, this could affect you once you upgrade to buster/bullseye).
Cheers,
Emilio
