Package: linux-libc-dev
Version: 2.6.32-9
Severity: normal

Hi,
linux/netlink.h includes linux/socket.h for the definition of
sa_family_t (see the comment in that file). However the shipped
linux/socket.h doesn't contain that typedef.

The upstream kernel headers include the typedef. Please add this to
socket.h since otherwise compilation of userspace programs (e.g. the
check for macvtap in libvirt) fails.
Cheers,
-- Guido

This change went upstream in 2.6.33 so userland will have to deal with it.
There is no point in reverting it.

Time is nature's way of making sure that everything doesn't happen at once.
