My LIRC was working with iguanaIR on a brand new install of 12.04. I
stupidly let ubuntu update, and it broke LIRC. After remove of LIRC, I
get

htpc@htpc:~$ sudo apt-get install lirc

The workaround wouldn't work for me. I tried

sudo ln -s /lib/modules/3.2.0-26-generic-
pae/kernel/drivers/staging/media/lirc /lib/modules/3.2.0-26-generic-
pae/kernel/drivers/staging/lirc

I need build dependencies to compile iguanaIR into LIRC, but says LIRC
is not fully installed.
