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.
