Bug Description
<mdz> kyle: hmm, looks like vmware-
mizar:[~] sudo modprobe vmmon
Password:
FATAL: Module vmmon not found.
mizar:[~] sudo depmod -a
mizar:[~] sudo modprobe vmmon
mizar:[~]
<kyle> hmm, odd.
<mdz> it's in postinst though
<mdz> kyle: it's not specifying a version; I bet it was run for the wrong kernel version
<kyle> that's entirely possible, especially if it got upgraded as well
The depmod command in postinst must specify the version of the kernel corresponding to the modules in the package.
