Bug#346281: linux-image-2.6.15-1-686: debconf question about /lib/modules/2.6.15-1-686 even if no kernel is installed
Package: linux-image-2.6.15-1-686
Version: 2.6.15-1
Severity: normal
I installed linux-headers-2.6.15-1-686 and then linux-image-2.6.15-1-686
and I get the debconf question about "You are attempting to install a
kernel image (version 2.6.15-1-686). However, the directory
/lib/modules/2.6.15-1-686 still exists."
The directory /lib/modules/2.6.15-1-686 exists but only contains
(because linux-headers-2.6.15-1-686 is already installed):
$ ls -al /lib/modules/2.6.15-1-686
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2006-01-06 19:04 .
drwxr-xr-x 14 root root 4096 2006-01-06 19:04 ..
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 2006-01-06 19:04 build -> /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.15-1-686
Maybe the test could be improved to display the debconf question only if
/lib/modules/2.6.15-1-686/kernel/ exists or, alternatively, if
/lib/modules/2.6.15-1-686/build is _not_ the only file in
/lib/modules/2.6.15-1-686/
Thanks,
