Your problem has been almost solved in last unstable version (lirc-modules-source/0.7.2-2).
Now debconf correctly tries to create the /etc/lirc/lirc-modules-source.conf. However if fails if the /etc/lirc/ directory doesn't exist: mv: cannot move `/tmp/fileNzygjN' to `/etc/lirc/lirc-modules-source.conf': No such file or directory dpkg: error processing lirc-modules-source (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: lirc-modules-source E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
