[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#244257: alsa-driver fails compile with Debianized kernel 2.6.5 and kernel-package (make-kpkg)

[Bruce Miller]

Package: alsa-driver
Severity: serious
Tags: sid
Justification: no longer builds from source



-- System Information:
Debian Release: testing/unstable
  APT prefers unstable
  APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental')
Architecture: i386 (i686)
Kernel: Linux 2.6.4
Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C

attempted to build 2.6.5 kernel from source (make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot kernel-image modules-image) as an unprivileged user in a
scratch directory changed the ownership of /usr/src/modules/alsa-source to that of the unprivileged user

following is relevant screen output:

Perhaps /usr/src/modules/alsa-driver does not understand --rootcmd?
If you see messages that indicate that it is not
in fact being built as root, please file a bug
against /usr/src/modules/alsa-driver.
