Support for 2.6.26 kernel ?

Asked by Martin Dige

Thanks for all your effort for making it possible to use truecrypt on Debian. I am however running a custom 2.6.26 Debian kernel and tc-dpkg fails with the following error:

touch configure-stamp
# Check Truecrypt version compatibility
if ! dpkg --compare-versions "4.3a" ge "4.1" && \
             dpkg --compare-versions "4.3a" le "4.3a"; \
        then \
            echo "[FATAL] Not a supported truecrypt version." \
                 " 4.3a != 4.3a" >&2; \
            return 4; \
        fi
# Check Kernel version compatibility
if ! dpkg --compare-versions 2.6.26 le 2.6.25 ; then \
            echo "[WARN] Not a supported kernel version." \
                 " 2.6.26 > 2.6.25" >&2; \
            return 4; \
        fi
[WARN] Not a supported kernel version. 2.6.26 > 2.6.25
/bin/sh: line 3: return: can only `return' from a function or sourced script
make: *** [kernel-version] Fejl 1
dpkg-buildpackage: failure: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2
debuild: fatal error at line 1319:
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -D -us -uc -b -i failed

Is it because that 2.6.26 kernels are not supported yet or have I somehow failed to follow the instructions properly ?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards

Martin

The message:

  [WARN] Not a supported kernel version. 2.6.26 > 2.6.25

means that every new kernel needs verification before it can be labeled "tested". In this case the last supported kernel was 2.6.25.

The 2.6.26 support is available in revision 279 of 'truecrypt-deb'. No actions are needed to install
anything. Running the deb build command again automatically retrieves latest code:

  tc-dpkg --auto --install

Hi, I have kind of the same problem on Ubuntu 9.04

Installation breaks with an error:
# kernel-version-check: Check Kernel version compatibility
[FATAL] Not a supported kernel version. 2.6.28-11-server > 2.6.27

how do I go from here?

or how can I deinstall since I can't even install the TrueCrypt.deb which is now in conflict with tc-installer?

The latest installer supports Kernels up to 2.6.30.

To remove packages, see dpkg(1) manual page and options --purge --remove.
