[Bug 1004239] Re: lirc installation error in Ubuntu 12.04

 

There are a lot of unrelated problems reported in this bug.  The original problem was this:
ls: cannot access /lib/modules/3.2.0-24-generic/kernel/drivers/staging/lirc:
  No such file or directory

The solution to this would be to patch lirc.postinst to look in
/lib/modules/$KERNEL/kernel/drivers/staging/media/lirc

A debdiff for lirc is attached which should fix the original issue of
this bug.

For the other problems described, you should consider support forums,
mailing lists, or opening a new bug.

** Patch added: "debdiff patch to fix path to modules in lirc.postinst"
   https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lirc/+bug/1004239/+attachment/3252113/+files/lirc_0.9.0-0ubuntu2.debdiff

** Summary changed:

- lirc installation error in Ubuntu 12.04
+ lirc postinst lists modules from incorrect directory
