Before, the modules package contained the module utilities. Now, it's the modutils package. What happened is that the modules/modutils maintainer prepared an empty transition modules package, but it got to the mirrors before the modutils package. As of today, modutils isn't yet in bo. So revert to rex's modules package. Phil.

I had no idea the problem existed until I rebooted and modprobe was gone. It could have happened anytime in the last week.
