Package: kmod Version: 34.2-2 Severity: normal Tags: patch X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear Maintainer, I was just starting a dist-upgrade from trixie to forky, but kmod refused to install citing not being able to find lsmod. Eventually, I extracted kmod_34.2-2_amd64.deb and modified it. The solution was to remove one of either of the symlinks to kmod named lsmod. One exists at usr/bin/lsmod and one at usr/sbin/lsmod. I chose to remove the one in usr/sbin but it doesn't matter as both have the same inode on systems with merged /bin, /usr/bin, /sbin, & /usr/sbin as all should be by now. After making this small deletion, and repackaging it with "dpkg-deb -b kmod_34.2-2_amd64 kmod_34.2-2_amd64.deb", now the package installs without fail and I have the dist-upgrade continuing. -- System Information: Debian Release: forky/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (700, 'testing'), (1, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 6.12.17-rt-amd64 (SMP w/16 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_WARN Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages kmod depends on: ii libc6 2.41-12 ii libkmod2 34.2-2 ii libssl3t64 3.5.2-1 kmod recommends no packages. kmod suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
