Package: modutils
Version: 2.4.10-3
Severity: minor
Hi,
Current modutils package no longer includes /sbin/kerneld. Yet on my
system there still is an /etc/init.d/kerneld, along with the related
/etc/rc.*/[SK]* symlinks.
These files are no longer registered with dpkg and should IMHO have been
removed automatically by those newer versions of the modutils package
that no longer install /sbin/kerneld.
Related to this is the line "auto" in /etc/modules. Newer versions of
modprobe get confused by this line, as they seem to think that it refers
to an actual kernel module named "auto", causing errors to be printed
during boot.
Older versions of the /etc/init.d/modutils script special-cased these
lines, maybe that should be reintroduced, either plain skipping the "auto"
line or printing a warning. Alternatively, the modutils maintainer
scripts could prompt the user about it and perhaps even automatically
remove the auto line.
With regard to the last suggestion, I wondered if modutils should be
touching /etc/modules at all, since it is not listed as a conffile
belonging to the modutils package. This in fact seems to be another
bug, as no other package claims to "own" it, while modutils used to
declare it allright in older versions and still references the file
in /etc/init.d/modutils. Perhaps it should be declared a conffile for
modutils again?
Cheers,
Joost

This package has been removed from Debian unstable. I'm therefore
closing this bug report. The package has been removed because it
has been replaced by module-init-tools. modutils was for 2.4 kernels
only. It's quite unlikely that your bug still exists in
module-init-tools, but please let me know if it does.
