Incompatibility of libc6 with kernel 2.6 ax25
Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.6.ds1-13etch5
The following files in libc6 are not up to date: netax25/ax25.h
netrom/netrom.h netrose/rose.h. Meaning these files do not correspond
with the ax25.h netrom.h and rose.h from the 2.6 kernel. Resulting in
a wrong syscall.h.
This error result in upward dependency problems: libax25, ax25-apps,
ax25-tools, node, z8530-utils.
The origin of this problem is in the upload, even the gnu 2.7 source
code has this error.
An important notice is that these problems do not occur if you use the
2.4 kernel.
Possible solutions:
1. Discus this problem with the kernel and libc6 developers.
2. Remove ax25 use from libc6 and make a special package depending on
the right kernel and start from there to make the other ax25 packages.
Hopefully this is enough information,
Arjan
