Bug#669283: Other apt-get commands don't work too
Other apt-get commands don't work too.
For example, I met the problem with vfat module:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# mount /dev/sdh1 /mnt/usb_flash/
mount: unknown filesystem type 'vfat'
# modprobe vfat
ERROR: could not insert 'vfat': No such file or directory
# find /lib/modules -name *vfat*
/lib/modules/3.1.0-1-powerpc64/kernel/fs/fat/vfat.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.32-5-powerpc64/kernel/fs/fat/vfat.ko
/lib/modules/3.2.0-2-powerpc64/kernel/fs/fat/vfat.ko
/lib/modules/3.2.0-1-powerpc64/kernel/fs/fat/vfat.ko
# insmod /lib/modules/3.2.0-2-powerpc64/kernel/fs/fat/vfat.ko
Error: could not insert module
/lib/modules/3.2.0-2-powerpc64/kernel/fs/fat/vfat.ko: Unknown symbol
in module
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And tried to reinstall the kernel to do depmod -a then (maybe I just
got a damaged module?):
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-3.2.0-2-powerpc64
