Package: module-init-tools Version: 3.10-2 Severity: normal After upgrading to 3.10-1, I started noticing warnings on modprobe, and thus also at boot time:
WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/arch, it will be ignored in a future release. WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/arch-aliases, it will be ignored in a future release. Sure enough, I do have /etc/modprobe.d/arch/x86_64 and /etc/modprobe.d/arch-aliases; they don't seem to have gotten removed. I looked at the code in the preinst that removes these: > for file in i386 x86_64 mips s390 parisc sparc powerpc.apus \ > powerpc.generic powerpc.pmac m68k.amiga m68k.atari m68k.generic; do > [ -e "/etc/modprobe.d/arch/$file" ] || break > rm_conffile /etc/modprobe.d/arch/$file > done > rmdir /etc/modprobe.d/arch/ 2> /dev/null || true > if [ -L /etc/modprobe.d/arch-aliases \ > -a ! -e /etc/modprobe.d/arch-aliases ]; then > rm /etc/modprobe.d/arch-aliases > fi It looks like the first for loop won't work correctly on any non-i386 platform, such as x86_64. In the very first iteration, it will break out of the loop because /etc/modprobe.d/arch/i386 doesn't exist. Did you perhaps want s/break/continue/, or alternatively "&& rm_conffile ..."?
