在Debian Wheezy上编译新内核

Question

I'm trying to compile the 3.8.11 kernel on Debian 7.0 Wheeze. I'm using this tutorial, but have a strange issue on the last step:

sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-3.8.11_3.8.11-10.00.Custom_amd64.deb

fails with missing dependencies:

linux-headers-3.8.11 depends on libc6-amd64 (>= 2.7).

But i already have libc6 of newer version installed on my system. The "dpkg -l | grep libc6" command returns

ii libc6:amd64 2.13-38 amd64

ii libc6:i386 2.13-38 i386

ii libc6-amd64 2.13-38 i386

ii libc6-dbg:amd64 2.13-38 amd64

ii libc6-dev:amd64 2.13-38 amd64

rc libc6-i386 2.13-38 amd64

ii libc6-i686:i386 2.13-38 i386

I have both i386 and amd64 versions because of skype.

Can my 3.8.11 headers be confused because of this plethora of libc6 versions? What can I do with this stuff?

Answer 1

Sergey, I'll try to give you an answer, although since I haven't seen this error myself can't validate the answer.

In brief, it may be due to your libc6-amd64 package. See whether anything still depends on it, and remove it.

See the following for more information: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2013/01/msg00435.html

I should add that while I have multilib set up (and skype installed, just like you) dpkg -l|grep libc6 returns the following packages as being installed for me: libc6, libc6:i386, libc6-dev, libc6-i386 and libc6-i686:i386. This would support the thesis in 1 since the only package 'missing' is libc6-amd64.
