** Description changed:

  version.h is absent in headers upcoming with new kernel-4.2, so it leads
  to failure to compile kernel modules of some older programs like
  Symantec SAV, etc. Some like virtualbox guest additions (v 5.0.10) claim
  that can't find headers for current kernel.
  
- Kernel-3.x still have it in place, for e.g. /usr/src/linux-
- headers-3.19.0-39/include/linux/version.h .
