As I told you on IRC, I don't think there's anything wrong with depending on kernel-header-2.4 - IF that provide evaluates to something sensible. It doesn't. I can just force it by keeping kernel-headers for PPC installed on the build daemon; I'll do that after my next fight with bitkeeper. But I strongly dislike buildd-operator-voodoo hacks to make dependencies work. -- Daniel Jacobowitz Carnegie Mellon University MontaVista Software Debian GNU/Linux Developer
