I used "apt-get -b source ..." to get and compile packages from testing. >I'd > think that, if you used stable's kernel-package to build a 2.4.21 or > 2.4.22 kernel from either the kernel.org or Debian (testing/unstable) > sources, it should work fine and you wouldn't get strange > dependencies. ..... When I tried to download and build kernel-image-2.4.21-5-k7-smp, it said it needed several packages, including kernel-package >=8.042 (which is in testing), so I downloaded, build, and installed them. Then I ran "apt-get -b source kernel-source-2.4.21" to download and build kernel-source-2.4.21_2.4.21-5_all.deb, kernel-doc-..., kernel-patch-debian... and kernel-tree-... After installing those, I ran "apt-get -b source kernel-image-2.4.21-5-k7-smp" to build that package. (It took forever since it build kernels for every architecture.) When I tried installing the kernel-image-2.4.21-5-k7-smp package, that's when I found out from delete/apt that: - that package depends on module-init-tools, but - (testing's) module-init-tools conflicts with (woody's) modutils, - which my current 2.4.18 kernel package depends on. Do I need to build a kernel 2.4.1 package other than kernel-image-2.4.21-5-k7-smp? Or do I need to unpack the tar file installed by kernel-source-2.4.21_2.4.21-5_all.deb and build a kernel there using make-kpkg or whatever? (Would that result in different dependencies?)
