Re: [ANNOUNCE] cryptsetup 1.6.0-rc1

Hi Arno,

On my sys I have the file /usr/include/linux/if_alg.h in the
kernel-headers package (not debian).

And the source file in the kernel is:
/usr/src/linux-3.4.13/include/linux/if_alg.h
or /usr/src/linux/include/linux/if_alg.h for that matter

The question though is, whether your /usr/include/linux is a link or
provided by a kernel header package. If it's a proper link you should not
run into the problem described.

Hope this helps.

-Sven
