Package: kmod
Version: 31-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

[UPGRADE] kmod:amd64 30+20230601-2.1 -> 31-1
[UPGRADE] libkmod2:amd64 30+20230601-2.1 -> 31-1

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

/usr/sbin# rm depmod insmod lsmod modinfo modprobe rmmod
then tried re-installing version 31-1 (ineffective)

then tried:

/usr/sbin# rm depmod insmod lsmod modinfo modprobe rmmod

and downgraded kmod and libkmod2:

Subject: Re: bug#812: Devuan project: merged-usr

Date: Wed, 20 Mar 2024 12:06:27 +0000

Merged /usr is now enforced by base-files 13devuan4 and handled by debootstrap
1.0.134devuan2. Both of these versions are present in ceres and excalibur:

 base-files  | 13devuan4      | excalibur  | source, all
 base-files  | 13devuan4      | unstable   | source, all
 debootstrap | 1.0.134devuan2 | excalibur  | source, all
 debootstrap | 1.0.134devuan2 | unstable   | source, all

Golinux also posted an announcement[1] on the forum.

Therefore I am closing these reports as fixed.

Mark
