Binary package hint: dahdi-linux

after use
~$ sudo aptitude install asterisk

I see next lines in aptitude log:

Yes, the reason is that in 2.6.32 there's the file:
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-23-generic/include/linux/autoconf.h
while in 2.6.35 it's:
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.35-14-generic/include/generated/autoconf.h

[Dimitrios Symeonidis (azimout)]

The error comes from the file
/var/lib/dkms/dahdi/2.2.1+dfsg-1ubuntu2/build/include/dahdi/dahdi_config.h

[Dimitrios Symeonidis (azimout)]

This issue is fixed in http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/dahdi-linux/dahdi-linux-2.3.0.1.tar.gz

Then you'll face two additional issues, both fixed in svn:

debian version works now but theres a lot of ubuntu changes to go through so it would need to be looked at by someone more familiar with the package but for the moment....

SevenMachines: I agree about this being the wrong time in the release cycle to be merging this package. The patch looks decent, but a couple of quick things.

Would you mind using a real name in the changelog?

It's a big help to future MOTUs working on the package if quilt patches have a descriptive header. The DEP3 standard is quite popular: http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep3/

[Niall Creech (sevenmachines-deactivatedaccount)]

sorry, missing dep3 was a result of doing it late in the evening.

Can this one maybe pushed to latest LTS (lucid) too? Lucid does suffer this one using a backported kernel.
