[Pkg-acpi-devel] Bug#563915: Requesting loading of all modules in defaults/acpid fails

[Gunter Ohrner]

Package: acpid
Version: 1:2.0.0-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Specifying MODULES="all" in /etc/defaults/acpid does not work on my system.

I'm running a Debian-packaged 2.6.32-trunk-686 kernel.

All lines in my modules.dep file start with "kernel/drivers/", ie. use relative
directory names instead of absolute names.

However, the RegExp used by /etc/init.d/acpid to process this file assumes all
directory names to be absolute, which loads to an empty list of modules on my
system.

Changing the mentioned regular expression from

  ^/lib/modules/[^/]+/kernel/(drivers|ubuntu)/acpi/([^/]+/)*(.*)\.ko:.

to

  ^(/lib/modules/[^/]+/)?kernel/(drivers|ubuntu)/acpi/([^/]+/)*(.*)\.ko:.*

(and adjusting the group number in the sed expression from \3 to \4)

fixes the bug for me.
