Bug#256401: modconf: location of modprobe config files changed with module-init-tools

[Yann Bloch <bloch@iie.cnam.fr>]

Package: modconf
Version: 0.2.45.1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Hello

I'm using module-init-tools 3.1-pre2-2 instead of modutils.

module-init-tools puts its config files in /etc/modprobe.d, not in
/etc/modprobe.conf, as modconf expects.

The problem had an easy workaround for me:

In /usr/share/modconf/params

56c56
<    CFGFILE=$Target/etc/modprobe.conf
---
>    CFGFILE=$Target/etc/modprobe.d


I guess this will need some additional checking to make it integrate
smoothly in the various possible configurations. It may even be better
not to specify a config file at all, and let modprobe find it itself.
Well the maintainer will decide.

Modconf also depends on modutils, but it is not necessary since it can
be replaced by module-init-tools.

Best regards,

Yann.
