Package: lirc-modules-source Version: 0.8.0-5 Severity: important
After building a .deb file using "make-kpkg modules-image", installing the deb file fails on a system with a 2.x.y.z kernel because the package tries to install a module to fx "/lib/modules/2.6.17/misc/lirc_dev.ko" when it should be "lib/modules/2.6.17.4/misc/lirc_dev.ko" In my case dpkg -i fails because I already have a deb file installed for a 2.6.17 kernel, so when the package tries to override "/lib/modules/2.6.17/misc/lirc_dev.ko" it fails, but even if this was the first time I installed the deb file, it wouldn't work, because the modules would be in the wrong dir. output from dpkg -i: # dpkg -i lirc-modules-2.6.17.4_0.8.0-5+20060709T143754_i386.deb (Reading database ... 134011 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking lirc-modules-2.6.17.4 (from lirc-modules-2.6.17.4_0.8.0-5+20060709T143754_i386.deb) ... dpkg: error processing lirc-modules-2.6.17.4_0.8.0-5+20060709T143754_i386.deb (--install): trying to overwrite `/lib/modules/2.6.17/misc/lirc_dev.ko', which is also in package lirc-modules-2.6.17 I could probably get it to work by moving the module to the correct dir, but then I can't remove the package again.
