Package: kudzu
Version: 1.1.67-1
Severity: important
kudzu uses --ignore-install in /etc/modutils/kudzu:
$ more kudzu
alias eth0 b44
alias snd-card-0 via82cxxx_audio
install via82cxxx_audio /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install via82cxxx_audio
&& /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
remove via82cxxx_audio { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ;
}; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove via82cxxx_audio
alias char-major-81 bttv
alias usb-controller usb-uhci
But that option is not present in the modprobe version I have installed,
breaking loading of the module altogether:
# /sbin/modprobe via82cxxx_audio
/sbin/modprobe: unrecognized option `--ignore-install'
modprobe 2.4.26
Load/Unload modules with dependencies
Load module(s):
modprobe [-a -n -v ] [-C config ] [ -t type ] pattern OR module1 module2
....
List modules:
modprobe [-l ] [-C config ] [ -t type ] pattern
note: wildcard patterns should be escaped
Show configuration:
modprobe [-C config ] -c
Remove module(s) or autoclean:
modprobe [-C config ] -r [ module ...]
options:
-a, --all Load _all_ matching modules
-c, --showconfig Show current configuration
-d, --debug Print debugging information
-h, --help Print this message
-k, --autoclean Set 'autoclean' on loaded modules
-l, --list List matching modules
-n, --show Don't actually perform the action
-q, --quiet Quiet operation
-r, --remove Remove module (stacks) or do autoclean
-s, --syslog Use syslog to report
-t, --type moduletype Only look for modules of this type
-v, --verbose Print all commands
-V, --version Show version
-C, --config configfile Use instead of /etc/modules.conf
I hope this helps.

Dear bug reporter,;)
kudzu is not buildable anymore and is already removed from etch/testing.
Nobody seems to care about the package. I asked the pkg-knoppix people on alioth
but it doesn't seems to be an active project.
The main reason for packaging the kudzu hardware detection was to have it
packaged
for knoppix. But they are still using their own kudzu build.:(
>From upstream we got the following information:

....
Aside from that... what are you using kudzu for? You shouldn't. (it basically
is sticking around in RH/Fedora until the installer can be ported away
from it.)

Thats why kudzu will be removed from Debian.
I'm closing all kudzu bugs.
Thanks from the kudzu maintainer.
