"Kernel headers could not be found" while they are installed

[Shahar Or]

While doing "m-a auto-install ndiswrapper" M-A is complaining that it doesn't find my kernel headers. Attaching screenshots of the error messages.
But they are obviously installed:
shahar@shahar-desktop:~$
shahar@shahar-desktop:~$ sudo m-a prepare

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

[Darlan Cavalcante (darcamo)]

I have the headers installed but I still get this error. In fact, I also tryed to compile ndiswrapper from the trunk but I also get an error with headers not found.

This affected me when trying to build a tp-smapi module (battery information etc) for my thinkpad.

Apparently the Debian team have fixed this with an updated version of module-assistant:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=702648

I haven't tested it and am happy to wait for Ubuntu to send out their update through the normal update process.

Saucy and later module-assistant no longer have this probelm.

[Graham Inggs (ginggs)]

Fix released in module-assistant 0.11.5 in Saucy.
