sa_family_t definition expected to be in linux/socket.h but in sys/socket.h

[Pedro Francisco]

Binary package hint: linux-libc-dev

In file linux/netlink.h:
--snip--
#include <linux/socket.h> /* for sa_family_t */
--snip--

However the definition of sa_family_t is in file sys/socket.h (actually it is in bits/sockaddr.h but that file is included when including sys/socket.h)

Hi Pedro,

I think I'm missing something here. I don't know where you're seeing a sys/socket.h file and additionally I don't even see a sockaddr.h file existing in the Intrepid kernel.

ogasawara@yoji:~/ubuntu-intrepid$ find -name "sockaddr.h"
ogasawara@yoji:~/ubuntu-intrepid$

Additionally when I examine linux/socket.h in the Intrepid kernel I see on line 32:

typedef unsigned short sa_family_t;

Did you mean to assign this to the kernel package? I'm guessing it should be against something else like glibc?

My mistake, look at "Binary package hint: linux-libc-dev": that's the right package; I must have selected linux package by mistake.

All files mentioned in the report are in /usr/include:
$ apt-file search /usr/include/linux/netlink.h
linux-libc-dev: /usr/include/linux/netlink.h

How do I find out to which package (in the bug tracker) does it belong?

Leann, what is wrong with libc6-dev?
