[Bug 77897] Re: /usr/src/linux symlink missing

Those packages are broken. We do not provide this link, because it has been deprecated for years. Modules should do: make -C /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build O=$(CWD) This is documented in the kernel itself under the kbuild documentation. ** Changed in: linux-meta (Ubuntu) Status: Unconfirm
