[Bug 63882] Re: [edgy] linux-2.6.18 build fails with incorrect version in deprecated 'version.h'

[xtknight]

I'm having the same problem.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
====== making target install/linux-image-2.6.18-k8 [new prereqs: ]======
This is kernel package version 10.049ubuntu4.
echo "The UTS Release version in include/linux/version.h"; echo "     \"\" "; echo "does not match current version:"; echo "     \"2.6.18-k8\" "; echo "Please correct this."; exit 2
The UTS Release version in include/linux/version.h
     "" 
does not match current version:
     "2.6.18-k8" 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I fixed it by going into ./include/linux/version.h and adding this
definition:

#define UTS_RELEASE "2.6.18-k8"

Save the file and re-run the whole make-kpkg command again (don't do
make-kpkg clean, do the compiling one).  It'll detect what it has
already built and continue on.
