module-init-tools causes infinite loop

[Alfredo Matas]

Binary package hint: module-init-tools

This last change (3.3-pre3-1ubuntu4):

+#!/bin/sh -e
+if [ -x /sbin/update-modules.modutils ]; then
+ exec /sbin/update-modules.modutils "$*"
+fi
+exit 0

plus the diversion in the preinstall causes an infinite loop when installing.

In the target system exist /sbin/update-modules.modutils and /sbin/update-modules that are the same file.

diversion by module-init-tools from: /sbin/update-modules
diversion by module-init-tools to: /sbin/update-modules.modutils

This was caused by the introduction of a dependency from dmsetup -> udev that has now been removed again

(don't ask :p)
