I was just trying to decide if I should return from interrupt, or declare a fault :-) When too many things started going wrong (didn't have coccinelle installed, have never heard of it, have no idea what it is, apt-get installed it, was informed it was too old, git cloned it, installed dependencies for building it, found that it would not compile, even with the dependencies installed), the "too hard" LED came on and I figured I should ask some questions. I'll go find somebody I can ask about compiling coccinelle (whatever that is) on Ubuntu 16.04, figure out what's going on there, and return from interrupt now. Then I'll either figure out what's going on with the --integrate flag in backports, or decide to live with a loadable module. Thanks for the help. --wpd -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe backports" in
