Bug#509575: module-init-tools update etch=lenny fails on old system due to old diversion
I had this bug a few days ago, I was upgrading from etch to lenny. I found a solution, you will find my solution on my blog[1]. But that problem caused stopping of the upgrade, during upgrade, a problem like this one shouldn't stop the upgrade, aptitude/apt should upgrade the rest of packages that are not yet upgraded, because module-init-tools is before them. This patch[2] didn't solve the problem. (even if the bash code seems to do the same things I did in my solution...)

Please do, because I have been lost for a long time in the mess of the m-i-t diversions... This code removes all diversions belonging to modutils from the system the hard way and allow module-init-tools to be updated on the test system. I cannot comment on whether it may be suitable for inclusion into the package. Use at your own risk. The rm/ln code for /sbin/insmod(.modutils) may be a fix for local issue on my system where /sbin/insmod.modutils was a zero bytes file.
