Hi Ola & Kir,

Thanks for the clarification.

However, there is still a bug and it took me hours to figure it out.
As per my original posting, I was not able to build DKMS modules with
the kernel. The problem is the following:

Entpacken von linux-image-openvz-amd64 (aus
.../linux-image-openvz-amd64_042stab093.5_amd64.deb) ...
linux-image-2.6.32-openvz-042stab093.5-amd64 (1) wird eingerichtet ...

 Hmm. There is a symbolic link
/lib/modules/2.6.32-openvz-042stab093.5-amd64/build
 However, I can not read it: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
 Therefore, I am deleting
/lib/modules/2.6.32-openvz-042stab093.5-amd64/build

 Hmm. The package shipped with a symbolic link
/lib/modules/2.6.32-openvz-042stab093.5-amd64/source
 However, I can not read the target: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
 Therefore, I am deleting
/lib/modules/2.6.32-openvz-042stab093.5-amd64/source

Looking in the source package, the links point to
/root/kbuild2/26035/repo/... and do of course not exist. In reality,
they should point to /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.~42stab093.5-amd64
where the linux-headers package puts its headers so.

Actually I am not even sure if the links should be deleted. If they
are, however, they should be restored when installing the appropriate
headers package.

Furthermore, the package does not include the modules.builtin file.
When installing the package:

WARNING: could not open
/lib/modules/2.6.32-openvz-042stab093.5-amd64/modules.builtin: No such
file or directory

It would be great if this could be fixed.

Thank,
Nikolaus
