Very strange indeed. What does dpkg -l kernel-modules-2.4.22-powerpc say
exactly ? Notice that an older version of kernel-modules-2.4.22-powerpc
had wrong module path in it, you may still have it installed, and
naturally, i don't think that kernel-modules-2.4.22-powerpc is already
in the archive. Try downloading and installing it by hand.
But then, i have been offline for 3 days, and maybe the package got
accepted since then.
