Hello,
I have a Lemote Yeeloong notebook that is running Gnewsense metad. I
have three questions:
1. On startup, I receive the following warning:
modprobe: Fatal: Could not
load /lib/modules/2.6.32.11-libre1-lemote/modules.dep
No such file or directory
How can this be resolved?
Executing "dpkg -S modules.dep" in a terminal will tell you which
packages the file modules.dep is in, with the full path. Reinstalling
the package ("aptitude reinstall <package>" without the brackets) should
bring the file back.
2. The following package upgrades are held back by apt-get due to unmet
dependencies:
alacarte alsa-utils apt apt-listchanges apt-utils aptitude avahi-daemon
bash bc bind9-host dnsutils libavahi-ui0
Does this matter? How can the packages be upgraded?
It seems some packages in our repository got upgraded when they
shouldn't have. We're looking into the issue.
3. Which kernel should I be using? I tried to replace
linux-image-2.6.31.26-libre1-lemote with
linux-image-2.6.36.1-libre-lemote, however thereafter grub-yeeloong and
yeeloong-base were marked as obsolete. When I marked yeeloong-base for
reinstallation, it asked to reinstall
linux-image-2.6.31.26-libre1-lemote.
There's a hard dependency between yeeloong-base and
linux-image-2.6.31.26-libre1-lemote. I recommend that you leave both
packages installed. You can additionally install a newer Linux-libre
version, like 2.6.36.1, without any problems. Currently the Linux-libre
packages don't upgrade automatically, so you have to periodically check
for newer versions if you want them. Sometimes we upgrade the dependency
in yeeloong-base and then you do automatically get the upgrade.
