In the "0apus" script a variable is loaded with "dpkg
--print-installation-architecture"
the value returned is "powerpc" and is used to create the name of PATCHDI=
R :
/usr/src/kernel-patches/$ARCHITECTURE  --> ie :
"/usr/src/kernel-patches/powerpc" on
my system. The structure of the "/usr/src/kernel-patches" contain an "apu=
s"
directory but no "powerpc" so it won't work if you do not make the link o=
r
preload the "PATCH_DIR" variable and export it with the real PATH. =

So I prefer a simple "ln -s" as it does not take much time to key in, and=

stay
always until removed.
