Trying to emerge lvm2 fails caused by compilation error for a linux header file.
Re-emerging linux header solves the problem

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -u lvm2

Steps to fix:
1. emerge linux-headers
2. emerge -u lvm2
3.

So what´s the point of this bug, then? BTW, compiles just fine here.

[Comment 3 Eli Spizzichino 2005-05-11 07:16:37 UTC]

I think the ebuild should make the step to recompile linux-headers before proceed to compile lvm2 if this is neccesary...

It is not necessary here and for a lot of other people, b/c it works just fine. Also, I can
