Please clarify what version of rear has this problem, and how you |
| 29 |
installed it. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Either way, from the problem description one can see that rear needs |
| 32 |
patching, however: |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
If it was installed by ortage from an ebuild, then you have a bug to be |
| 35 |
reported to b.g.o. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
If you installed from git outside of portage, the you get to patch rear |
| 38 |
yourself |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
Or, perhaps a third option. Does rear have a config file where you can |
| 41 |
define the naming template for the kernel used? (I don't use rear and |
| 42 |
can't be bothered googling it, the idea just occurred to me) |
