errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

What do You think ? Is there a safe solution or just FORCE option ?

Re: kernel-headers conflicts - current upgrade (27.09.2006)

I think a force here should be fine.

Is there a more gentle way ?

Re: kernel-headers conflicts - current upgrade (27.09.2006)

Which package owns those files on your system? looks like you copied them by hand from the linux kernel sources a while ago.

Kernel-headers-2.6.12.0-1 owns these files but it might be true that I copied headers from sources in the past. Their modification date is around may 2005. I remember that in the past (long time ago) I was playing with recompilation of the kernel. But since then I haven't had any troubles (I am using distro kernel), maybe because kernel-headers package wasn't updated. OK so i'll just FORCE update of the newest packges...

Thank You very much for the hints!
