Thank you again, Pascal, for your helpful reply.

Right you are. Here is the corrected output:

$ modinfo -k 4.12.0-1-amd64 xts
filename:       /lib/modules/4.12.0-1-amd64/kernel/crypto/xts.ko
alias:          crypto-xts
alias:          xts
description:    XTS block cipher mode
license:        GPL
depends:
intree:         Y
vermagic:       4.12.0-1-amd64 SMP mod_unload modversions

Which is substantially similar to the original output, but I'm posting
here in case you notice any important differences.

$ ls /lib/modules/4.12.0-1-amd64/kernel/crypto/ecb.ko
/lib/modules/4.12.0-1-amd64/kernel/crypto/ecb.ko

I've done as you suggested and I'll let you know in my next reply if
it worked. Assuming it does, does this mean that I'll have to set this
manually from now on or does in indicate something in the
auto-configuration when the new kernel installs and/or runs?

With many thanks again
