glibc / kernel issue

[Jean Bruenn]

Hey,

ratler and I talked on IRC, it seems that this is caused by
kernel-headers. kernel-headers are newer than linux-stable. glibc
expects a kernel the same version or higher than the currently installed
kernel-headers.

>From my point of view there are two possible ways to solve this:

1) we have kernel-headers-stable and kernel-headers

2) our kernel-headers will always use those from linux-stable

The first one is one package more to maintain. the second one will make
glibc not use all the recent functions/features.

Feedback?

Jean
