I stumbled upon this nasty bug in exactly the same way as the reporter:
* have module-init-tools pre11-1 installed, and modutils * try to install m-i-t pre11-3 * this conflicts with modutils, so modutils is removed * but also, m-i-t pre11-3 fails to install, so i downgrade back to pre11-1 Here is a temporary workaround that worked for me: * remove the +x attribute from /sbin/update-modules.modutils * apt-get -f install (if you had previously aborted a dpkg run due to this bug) * install the modutils package It may also be a good idea to manually run /sbin/update-modules after doing that. -- graham -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
