modules.seriomap not removed when package is purged

[Alex Mauer]

In several kernel packages, the file /lib/modules/[kernel version]/modules.seriomap is not removed when the package is purged. This is the case in at least 2.6.27-7-generic, 2.6.27-8-generic, 2.6.28-7-generic.

Starting with 2.6.28-8-generic, the files modules.alias.bin, modules.dep.bin, and modules.symbols.bin are not removed.

Obviously each of these files should be removed when the packages are purged.

Hi Alex,

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/lucid.

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 344477

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.
