Yes. This one can be solved by hand with dpkg. You need to ftp the
modutils and modules .deb files from bo. They have the same revision
numbers. In the following order:
dpkg -i modules*.deb /* "upgrade" modules with dummy
modules package */
dpkg -i modutils*.deb modules*.deb /* allows dpkg to "see" that modutils
replaces modules. dpkg will now
do the right thing(TM) */
Please everyone, note that this problem has been well-reported and should
be fixed prior to the release of 1.3.
Thanks. Syrus.
