module-init-tools and modutils have changed in unstable to not run modprobe on boot. For packages that contain kernel modules, this change can cause problems if the package is installed on a system not currently running the target kernel. Previously when the target kernel was booted depmod would be run and it would find your modules; now that doesn't happen and in this situation the modules won't be available to modprobe (until the user runs depmod manually). It's possible to fix this, and in debhelper 5.0.37, I've made dh_installmodules add depmod calls to the postinst and postrm that are designed to work even if the target kernel is not currently running. It looks like this: depmod -a -F /boot/System.map-2.6.16-2-686 2.6.16-2-686 || true I suggest that you rebuild your kernel modules packages using this version of dh_installmodules or, if you do it by hand, update your scripts to pass the version information to depmod. -- see shy jo
