Description paolo 2007-08-26 07:08:23 UTC 
Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur:
Distribution: Debian Sarge/Etch
Hardware Environment: x86
Software Environment:
Problem Description: 

Debian's modules explicitly depend on 'linux-image-_KVERS_'
while the in-tree .deb kernel packager sets the 'Provides:' field to 'kernel-image-_KVERS_'. Hence kernels packaged by deb-pkg fail dependencies check for Debian's modules .deb.

I suggest to apply the following patch:

I do not keep much track of this.
Care so sent me a proper signed-off patch then I will apply it.

noproblem, but is that really needed even for a 1word patch copied from a 
Debian package src?

#----------------
Current Debian's kernel-modules depend on matching linux-image-$version, though
Linux's make deb-pkg build a .deb that 'Provides: kernel-image-$version' only.
The following patch adds the Debian-compliant 'Provides', leaving the default one; hopely this will make way all happy.

There were no Provides: line in -linus kernel tree so
I just added the full line.

The above link is no longer valid.
This is better:
