[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#467421: alsa-source: FTBFS timer.c

[Arthur Marsh]

Package: alsa-source
Version: 1.0.16-1
Severity: important
Justification: fails to build from source


After running

make-kpkg --initrd linux-image modules-image

as I have done successfully for earlier kernel and alsa releases, the 
kernel built fine bus alsa gave the following error:

/usr/bin/make -C /usr/src/linux SUBDIRS=/usr/src/modules/alsa-driver
