[Timo Witte]

does not build for kernel 3.10.0-1-generic

probably because -Werror=implicit-function-declaration is set. (wasn´t set before?)

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Stefan Bader (smb)]

Closing as won't fix as this version of flashcache is no longer supported in any release.
