Package: module-init-tools
Version: 3.0-pre10-2
Trying to upgrade our intranet server from kernel 2.4.25 to 2.6.3, I get:
# apt-get install kernel-image-2.6-686
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
kernel-image-2.6-686 is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 66 not upgraded.
3 not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 0B of archives.
After unpacking 0B of additional disk space will be used.
Setting up module-init-tools (3.0-pre10-2) ...
cat: alsa: No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing module-init-tools (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of kernel-image-2.6.3-1-686:
kernel-image-2.6.3-1-686 depends on module-init-tools (>= 0.9.13); however:
Package module-init-tools is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing kernel-image-2.6.3-1-686 (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
I never bothered to look wether we even do have sound hardware on that machine.
We certainly don't have alsa installed.
After some poking, I changed /sbin/update-modules by adding a strategic
test -f "$src" &&
in front of the offending cat statement:
addfile() {
local src="$1"
printf "\n### update-modules: start processing $src ###\n"
if [ -x "$src" ]; then
if ! "./$src"; then
echo "Error while executing $src, aborting" >&2
exit 1
fi
else
test -f "$src" && cat "$src"
fi
printf "\n### update-modules: end processing $cfg ###\n"
}
I'm not sure this is a legitimate fix. This at least allowed me to get past the
alsa trouble and install module-init-tools. (I'm having LVM problems now.)
Regards, and thank you for providing fine software
Andreas

Hey there, this bug was closed some time ago (around May 26th), but
wasn't closed in the changelog. So closing it here.
(For context, /etc/{modutils,modprobe.d}/alsa was a dangling symlink,
and causing update-modules to bomb during lm-sensors installation)
