Actually it should be automic now: when you install modutils it replaces all of modules' files.dpkg will notice that and mark modules as removed. Gernot, if this does not work, can you tell me what version of modules you have installed? Wichert. pgp4SL2eh1Zr6.pgp Description: PGP signature
Dselect: Obsolete packages really obsolete?
Hi, Deselect tells me that there are obsolete packages in my debian system (I use stable contrib non-free bo). One of the obsolete packages is the modules-package. When I try to remove it, Debian tells me that I use a modular kernal and the modules-package cant be removed... Why is it listed as obsolete then?
