Description Florian Hubold 2014-07-26 17:02:47 UTC 
make install creates /etc/depmod.conf to prefer updates/ over kernel/ modules.
According to depmod manpage, /etc/depmod.conf is not even considered.
This is valid for at least http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/backports/stable/v3.15.1/backports-3.15.1-1.tar.xz

Had to move /etc/depmod.conf to /etc/depmod.d/backports.conf (and changed it to "search updates built-in").
After next depmod -a module from updates/ tree got preferred, before it was ignored.


Please fix.
