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 -- L I N U X .~.
