Bug#439242: ipw3945-modules-2.6.21-2-686: Older prebuilt package takes precedence over newer package built with m-a
Package: ipw3945-modules-2.6.21-2-686
Version: 1.2.2-1+2.6.21-6
Severity: normal
The versioning info of the prebuilt packages seems to be different from
the versioning used by module-assistant, so that after auto-install'ing
the ipw3945-1.2.2-1 kernel module, aptitude wants to "upgrade" it to
Debian's own ipw3945-1.2.1-3:
~-0# aptitude upgrade
W: The "upgrade" command is deprecated; use "safe-upgrade" instead.

Preparing to replace ipw3945-modules-2.6.21-2-686 1.2.2-1+2.6.21-6 (using .../ipw3945-modules-2.6.21-2-686_2.6.21+1.2.1-3_i386.deb) ...
Maybe this is not specific to ipw3945 but to module-assistant, tho: I don't use it nearly often enough to be able to tell.
