Yes, modutils isn't it?

The weird thing is that the ksymoops package is not installed on my
system and never, as far as I can tell, has
been---/var/lib/dpkg/status, all the old versions of
/var/lib/dpkg/status, dpkg -s, dpkg -l, and /usr/share/doc all agree
about that. I ran `script' while I was doing the upgrade to frozen and
so I have a record of the entire output to console; there's no mention
of the package in that record either.

Ah well .... 

Thank you very much for your help (all of you),

Jim
