The os-headers package is just a set of headers in /usr/include/linux/ that |
| 31 |
glibc compiles against. This doesn't have to coincide with the kernel |
| 32 |
version you're currently running, and is updated much less frequently than |
| 33 |
the kernel simply because there is no reason to do so. |
| 34 |
Note that if you update your os-headers package, you should recompile glibc |
| 35 |
to take advantage of the update. |
