Hi, what's the state of this issue? It's over a year without any reaction from the maintainer. Due to the Processing will continue after one minute when invoking update-modules this issue should be fixed at least for Squeeze: [...] Setting up setserial (2.17-45) ... dpkg: warning: obsolete option '--print-installation-architecture', please use '--print-architecture' instead. removing the old setserial entry in the rcn.d directories Update complete. dpkg: warning: obsolete option '--print-installation-architecture', please use '--print-architecture' instead. dpkg: warning: obsolete option '--print-installation-architecture', please use '--print-architecture' instead. Saving state of known serial devices... backing up /var/lib/setserial/autoserial.conf done. * * The update-modules command is deprecated and should not be used! * * Processing will continue after one minute. * [...] regards, -mika- signature.asc Description: Digital signature

IMHO, setserial does the right thing: This would instantly break an unknown number of packages (but feel free to grep the whole archive for update-modules invocations and I will reconsider this). before executing update-modules, it tests whether it is available, so that it can work with old versions of module-init-tools (where update-modules is useful) *and* with future ones where update-modules should be removed. There are no versions of module-init-tools where update-modules is useful, it only had an use in modutils which is old enough that modern packages do not need to care. -- ciao, Marco signature.asc Description: Digital signature

But setserial does not depend on modutils. If it is based on modutils features, it should depend on it.
