Hi group,

I have several problems installing the latest version of modutils.

1.) Output of 'apt-get install modutils':
    Preparing to replace modutils 2.3.11-13.1 
(using.../modutils_2.4.2-0.bunk_i386.deb) ...
    Removing obsoleted files:
    Unpacking replacement modutils ...
    dpkg: error processing 
/var/cache/apt/archives/modutils_2.4.2-0.bunk_i386.deb (--unpack):
    unable to install new version of `./sbin/lsmod': Operation not permitted
    dpkg: error while cleaning up: unable to restore backup version of 
`/sbin/lsmod': Operation not
    permitted
    dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
    Errors were encountered while processing:
    /var/cache/apt/archives/modutils_2.4.2-0.bunk_i386.deb
    E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

2.) 'apt-get remove modutils' to install it from scratch, won't work,
    because of the inconsistence in [1]. The same for 'apt-get install modutils
    --reinstall'.

3.) What kind of "Operation not permitted" is ment in [1]?
    read/write/execute? 
    $ ls -al /sbin/lsmod:
    l-ws-ws--x    1 root     root            6 Dec 10 22:18 /sbin/lsmod
    -> insmod
    Several friends of mine have the same file-permissions for that
    file. Changing that permissions to whatever I want, does not solve
    this problem.

Waiting hopefully for any suggestions ;-)

MfG/Regards, Willi Dyck
