Package: kmod
Version: 8-2
Severity: normal
Hello,
While setting up a new VPS with Wheezy under a module-less kernel
(everything compiled-in) I've noticed that kmod's modprobe silently
returns 1 with no error message printed, no matter if you tell it
to load or unload a module.
Of course, the expected behavior is to return a module not found
error, like Squeeze's "old" modprobe did.
After a bit more testing using a more "standard" Debian install
(barebones system from current netinst with Debian standard kernel
3.2.0-3-686-pae) I've found out that this behavior is caused by lack
of /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.alias.bin .
If you rename this file on an out-of-the-box Wheezy system,
modprobe will just return 1 without printing any warning message.
This of course breaks scripts sniffing modprobe's output.
(see Bug#684424 for example, which was my original problem.)
