[vbox-dev] build svn 2.0.51 in debian

[Antonio Doldo]

Thanks for your reply, but in debian (Etch and Lenny) I don't found a
package linux-headers, there are many but all witch rel. number, eg:

*linux-headers-2.6-686* - Header files for Linux 2.6 on
PPro/Celeron/PII/PIII/P4
*linux-headers-2.6.26-1-686* - Header files for Linux 2.6.26-1-686

If I remove linux-headers-generic from debian/control the package compile
correctly and source is generated, but i'm not sure that is correct.

By way i can compile with -d switch:

dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc -d

to remove dependencies

if don't use "-d" i receive this error:

dpkg-buildpackage: warning: Build dependencies/conflicts unsatisfied;
aborting.
dpkg-buildpackage: warning: (Use -d flag to override.)

My stupid question is: remove linux-headers-generic from "control" file or
use "-d"?
(in both cases the packages were created)
Thanks for your attention.

Best regards,
Antonio
