I noticed this behavior the other day. I just didn't have a chance to look into it at the time then forgot about it. When I saw your post, it reminded me that I ran into the same issue. It was time to look into it and see if it made that difference. Now we know. With that option, I don't know if the module-rebuild set would work or not. I suspect it may result in the same. To be honest, I don't use it because the only one there is for me is nvidia-drivers. Glad to help. It's not like I don't get help from this list on occasion. ;-) Dale :-) :-)
