Now, following your advice, Ben, I have replaced the above directive with dpkg-buildpackage -d -b -us -uc -T binary-arch (option -d is to override apparent flex dependency show-stopper -- but: "flex is already the newest version", according to apt). *also* with or without including switches, -us -uc, the kernel build procedure finishes -- apparently successfully as it generates the *.deb files; notwithstanding, it fails to generate *.udeb files -- which are required to build Debian-Installer (d-i) --------------------------------------------------------------- kernel/sound/pci/snd-intel8x0m.ko kernel/sound/pci/snd-via82xx-modem.ko kernel/sound/synth/emux/snd-emux-synth.ko kernel/virt/lib/irqbypass.ko kernel-wedge strip-modules 4.7.0-1+reiser4.0.1-amd64 kernel-wedge check kernel-image-4.7.0-1+reiser4.0.1-amd64-di nic-modules-4.7.0-1+reiser4.0.1-amd64-di nic-wireless-modules-4.7.0-1+reiser4.0.1-amd64-di nic-shared-modules-4.7.0-1+reiser4.0.1-amd64-di serial-modules-4.7.0-1+reiser4.0.1-amd64-di usb-serial-modules-4.7.0-1+reiser4.0.1-amd64-di ppp-modules-4.7.0-1+reiser4.0.1-amd64-di pata-modules-4.7.0-1+reiser4.0.1-amd64-di cdrom-core-modules-4.7.0-1+reiser4.0.1-amd64-di firewire-core-modules-4.7.0-1+reiser4.0.1-amd64-di scsi-core-modules-4.7.0-1+reiser4.0.1-amd64-di scsi-modules-4.7.0-1+reiser4.0.1-amd64-di loop-modules-4.7.0-1+reiser4.0.1-amd64-di btrfs-modules-4.7.0-1+reiser4.0.1-amd64-di ext4-modules-4.7.0-1+reiser4.0.1-amd64-di isofs-modules-4.7.0-1+reiser4.0.1-amd64-di jfs-modules-4.7.0-1+reiser4.0.1-amd64-di reiser4-modules-4.7.0-1+reiser4.0.1-amd64-di ntfs-modules-4.7.0-1+reiser4.0.1-amd64-di xfs-modules-4.7.0-1+reiser4.0.1-amd64-di fat-modules-4.7.0-1+reiser4.0.1-amd64-di md-modules-4.7.0-1+reiser4.0.1-amd64-di multipath-modules-4.7.0-1+reiser4.0.1-amd64-di usb-modules-4.7.0-1+reiser4.0.1-amd64-di usb-storage-modules-4.7.0-1+reiser4.0.1-amd64-di pcmcia-storage-modules-4.7.0-1+reiser4.0.1-amd64-di fb-modules-4.7.0-1+reiser4.0.1-amd64-di input-modules-4.7.0-1+reiser4.0.1-amd64-di event-modules-4.7.0-1+reiser4.0.1-amd64-di mouse-modules-4.7.0-1+reiser4.0.1-amd64-di nic-pcmcia-modules-4.7.0-1+reiser4.0.1-amd64-di pcmcia-modules-4.7.0-1+reiser4.0.1-amd64-di nic-usb-modules-4.7.0-1+reiser4.0.1-amd64-di sata-modules-4.7.0-1+reiser4.0.1-amd64-di core-modules-4.7.0-1+reiser4.0.1-amd64-di acpi-modules-4.7.0-1+reiser4.0.1-amd64-di i2c-modules-4.7.0-1+reiser4.0.1-amd64-di crc-modules-4.7.0-1+reiser4.0.1-amd64-di crypto-modules-4.7.0-1+reiser4.0.1-amd64-di crypto-dm-modules-4.7.0-1+reiser4.0.1-amd64-di efi-modules-4.7.0-1+reiser4.0.1-amd64-di ata-modules-4.7.0-1+reiser4.0.1-amd64-di mmc-core-modules-4.7.0-1+reiser4.0.1-amd64-di mmc-modules-4.7.0-1+reiser4.0.1-amd64-di nbd-modules-4.7.0-1+reiser4.0.1-amd64-di squashfs-modules-4.7.0-1+reiser4.0.1-amd64-di speakup-modules-4.7.0-1+reiser4.0.1-amd64-di virtio-modules-4.7.0-1+reiser4.0.1-amd64-di uinput-modules-4.7.0-1+reiser4.0.1-amd64-di sound-modules-4.7.0-1+reiser4.0.1-amd64-di hyperv-modules-4.7.0-1+reiser4.0.1-amd64-di udf-modules-4.7.0-1+reiser4.0.1-amd64-di fuse-modules-4.7.0-1+reiser4.0.1-amd64-di dh_fixperms make[2]: Leaving directory '/mnt/sdb5/usr/src/build/tekitl-4.7.2-1/linux' make[1]: Leaving directory '/mnt/sdb5/usr/src/build/tekitl-4.7.2-1/linux' ----------------------------from------------------------------------ http://paste.debian.net/806348/ Thank you again, Ben.
