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?

Javier
