Sorry, seems to be nonsense, I suspect I was confusing it with an old issue for Ubuntu: "Intrepid (8.10), through to Karmic (9.10): sudo apt-get install fakeroot kernel-wedge build-essential makedumpfile kernel-package Note: The linux-kernel-devel package does not exist in Intrepid, Jaunty, or any newer release. To compile the kernel on Intrepid or newer, you'll also need to run: sudo apt-get build-dep linux This will install the compiler related packages and kernel packaging tools. It will also install the git-core package, which is the best way to interact with the Ubuntu kernel source." root@debian:/home/spinymouse# apt-get build-dep linux Reading package lists...
