I have installed modconf 0.2.45 running 'modconf' shows that, indeed there is a problem in the net section with many borked entries. However, if I recompile the package, using the kernel-2.4.21 sources, the new package is just fine, there are no borked entries. All the entries that would have double quotes have single quotes instead: ----------- /usr/share/modconf/eval_C --------------------- [...] summary_3c501="3c501 'EtherLink' support" summary_3c503="3c503 'EtherLink II' support" summary_3c505="3c505 'EtherLink Plus' support" [...] ----------------------------------------------------------- Now, reviewing the code, I do indeed see a proper conversion of those double quotes, I believe the relevant code is: (debian/mkkerneldesc.pl) --------------------------------------------------------------- open (H, "<$confighelp") || die $!; while (<H>) { chomp; if (/^(CONFIG_.+?)$/) { foreach $obj (@{$objs{$1}}) { print sprintf("%s=\"%s\"\n", xlat_objname($obj), $lastline); } } $lastline = $_; $lastline=~s/`/'/g; $lastline=~s/"/'/g; } --------------------------------------------------------------- Is this somehow related to a borked build somewhere?
