Bug#261638: kernel-image-2.4.26-1-386: unable to create `./lib/modules/2.4.26-1-386/kernel/drivers/i2c/i2c-algo-bit.o'

[Joost Cassee <joost@cassee.net>]

Package: kernel-image-2.4.26-1-386
Version: 2.4.26-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

When installing, dpkg gives the error: unable to create `./lib/modules/2.4.26-1-386/kernel/drivers/i2c/i2c-algo-bit.o'

No other kernel package gives this error. The relevant part of strace is:


lstat64("/lib/modules/2.4.26-1-386/old-i2c/i2c-algo-bit.o", 0xbfffefd0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
rename("/lib/modules/2.4.26-1-386/old-i2c/i2c-algo-bit.o.dpkg-tmp", "/lib/modules/2.4.26-1-386/old-i2c/i2c-algo-bit.o") = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
rmdir("/lib/modules/2.4.26-1-386/old-i2c/i2c-algo-bit.o.dpkg-new") = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
