The postinst script of dahdi starts the service dahdi, which in turn
loads all kernel modules listed in /etc/dahdi/modules .

Do you have any dahdi modules installed?

I had to download and build the ones from Digium

Do you have any DAHDI hardware?

Yes

Workaround: move that file aside.

I wonder if we should change the default of that file to be generated by
running 'dahdi_genconf modules' in the postinst script.

Should not error out even if people don't have the hardware or drivers - should provide a message telling them they need to get the drivers a different way. (where is the dahdi_genconf script and does it build the kernel modules? )


It appeared by the package names that the drivers were installed by debain

$  wajig list dahdi

ii asterisk-dahdi 1:1.8.13.1~dfsg-3 amd64 DAHDI devices support for the Asterisk PBX ii dahdi 1:2.5.0.1-2 amd64 utilities for using the DAHDI kernel modules ii dahdi-firmware-nonfree 2.6.1-1 all DAHDI non-free firmware ii dahdi-linux 1:2.6.1+dfsg2-1 all DAHDI telephony interface - Linux userspace parts ii dahdi-source 1:2.6.1+dfsg2-1 all DAHDI telephony interface - source code for kernel driver

But I had to download dahdi-linux-current.tar.gz from digum and build by hand
( http://downloads.digium.com/pub/telephony/ )

module-assisant no longer builds these kernel modules - has a broken zaptel entry - see: ( now very old bug ) 641857

Some sort of message on install - and one should not get a error code if the package actually installs.. Lots of users will need bread-crumbs if they have to build the modules.
