Package: module-init-tools
Version: 3.4-1
Severity: important

I have a very old system which has been updated from (at least) woody
via sarge to etch. This system still has some diversions in place
which have probably originated from updating from modutils to
module-init-tools:

diversion of /sbin/depmod to /sbin/depmod.modutils by module-init-tools
diversion of /usr/share/man/man8/depmod.8.gz to 
/usr/share/man/man8/depmod.modutils.8.gz by module-init-tools
diversion of /usr/share/man/fr/man8/depmod.8.gz to 
/usr/share/man/fr/man8/depmod.modutils.8.gz by module-init-tools
diversion of /sbin/insmod to /sbin/insmod.modutils by module-init-tools
diversion of /usr/share/man/man8/insmod.8.gz to 
/usr/share/man/man8/insmod.modutils.8.gz by module-init-tools
diversion of /usr/share/man/fr/man8/insmod.8.gz to 
/usr/share/man/fr/man8/insmod.modutils.8.gz by module-init-tools
diversion of /sbin/update-modules to /sbin/update-modules.modutils by 
module-init-tools
diversion of /usr/share/man/man8/update-modules.8.gz to 
/usr/share/man/man8/update-modules.modutils.8.gz by module-init-tools
diversion of /usr/share/man/fr/man8/update-modules.8.gz to 
/usr/share/man/fr/man8/update-modules.modutils.8.gz by module-init-tools
diversion of /sbin/modinfo to /sbin/modinfo.modutils by module-init-tools
diversion of /usr/share/man/man8/modinfo.8.gz to 
/usr/share/man/man8/modinfo.modutils.8.gz by module-init-tools
diversion of /usr/share/man/fr/man8/modinfo.8.gz to 
/usr/share/man/fr/man8/modinfo.modutils.8.gz by module-init-tools
diversion of /sbin/kallsyms to /sbin/kallsyms.modutils by module-init-tools
diversion of /sbin/ksyms to /sbin/ksyms.modutils by module-init-tools
diversion of /sbin/lsmod to /sbin/lsmod.Lmodutils by module-init-tools
diversion of /usr/share/man/man8/lsmod.8.gz to 
/usr/share/man/man8/lsmod.modutils.8.gz by module-init-tools
diversion of /usr/share/man/fr/man8/lsmod.8.gz to 
/usr/share/man/fr/man8/lsmod.modutils.8.gz by module-init-tools
diversion of /sbin/modprobe to /sbin/modprobe.Lmodutils by module-init-tools
diversion of /usr/share/man/man8/modprobe.8.gz to 
/usr/share/man/man8/modprobe.modutils.8.gz by module-init-tools
diversion of /usr/share/man/fr/man8/modprobe.8.gz to 
/usr/share/man/fr/man8/modprobe.modutils.8.gz by module-init-tools
diversion of /sbin/rmmod to /sbin/rmmod.Lmodutils by module-init-tools
diversion of /usr/share/man/man8/rmmod.8.gz to 
/usr/share/man/man8/rmmod.modutils.8.gz by module-init-tools
diversion of /usr/share/man/fr/man8/rmmod.8.gz to 
/usr/share/man/fr/man8/rmmod.modutils.8.gz by module-init-tools
diversion of /usr/share/man/man5/modules.5.gz to 
/usr/share/man/man5/modules.modutils.5.gz by module-init-tools
diversion of /usr/share/man/fr/man5/modules.5.gz to 
/usr/share/man/fr/man5/modules.modutils.5.gz by module-init-tools

Due to these diversions, the update from etch to lenny, using the
procedure laid out in the release notes, fails:

Setting up module-init-tools (3.4-1) ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/modprobe.d/aliases ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/modprobe.d/arch/i386 ...
dpkg-divert: rename involves overwriting `/sbin/insmod' with
  different file `/sbin/insmod.modutils', not allowed
dpkg: error processing module-init-tools (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2

I have a test setup for etch => lenny updates and can therefore
reproduce the issue to help finding out what exactly is going wrong.

Greetings
Marc
