Hi, |
| 7 |
|

This change has broken infra systems where /usr/src/ is empty because |
| 9 |
they use a binary kernel. /proc/config.gz does exist on those systems for this |
| 10 |
use case. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Specifically, any package that uses linux-info to issues warnings via the '~' |
| 13 |
syntax now fails because "getfilevar_noexec VERSION ..." returns empty string. |

I'd like to propose that we revert the original CVS change that supported the fallback to getfilevar_noexec: |
