If in /etc/modutils/aliases you have:

alias ppp-compress-21 bsd_comp
alias ppp-compress-24 ppp_deflate
alias ppp-compress-26 ppp_deflate

but you don't have such modules in /lib/modules/<kernel>/net/

then you may get such error.   On the other hand, if you do have such
modules, but do not have the alias lines above, simply add them to the
file and run update-modules (the errors should go away).
