Subject: /sbin/update-modules: update-modules: cat: alsa: No such file or
 directory

Package: modutils
Version: 2.4.26-1
Severity: critical
File: /sbin/update-modules

 after removing some compiled alsa-modules, removing
 nvidia-kernel gave me the message

cat: alsa: No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing nvidia-kernel-common (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

 I'm not sure the bug pertains to update-modules, but this is
 actually its output.

 I marked the bugs as critical because my system is now pretty
 unusable (I can't reinstall nvidia drivers).

Subject: Re: Bug#249659: Acknowledgement (/sbin/update-modules:
 update-modules: cat: alsa: No such file or directory)

 I solved the (my) problem (reinstalled alsa). However, the fact that
 update-modules wanted to update modules for a non installed
 packages souns a bit strange.

 Thanks,
 a.

Hi,

as this seems to be the known alsa-base floating symlink problem, I
think you can merge this bug with #249539.

Greetings, Bastian

This is a duplicate of bug 249539, which is now fixed.

This bug was closed weeks ago in Debian (though the actual bug in the BTS wasn't
closed until recently), so Warty has the fix already

Fixed in Debian in 2004.
