Package: cpufrequtils
Version: 007-1+squeeze1
I have Debian running on an Atom N270. It's mostly Squeeze, but I've
had to upgrade the kernel and a few other bits to Testing. I received
this error message during today's upgrade:
----
Setting up cpufrequtils (007-1+squeeze1) ...
Loading cpufreq kernel modules...FATAL: Error inserting acpi_cpufreq
(/lib/modules/3.1.0-1-686-pae/kernel/drivers/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.ko):
Device or resource busy
invoke-rc.d: initscript loadcpufreq, action "start" failed.

Errors were encountered while processing:
cpufrequtils
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
----
The problem is that the previous version of cpufrequtils loaded
"p4-clockmod", and that module apparently can't be unloaded.
# rmmod p4-clockmod
ERROR: Module p4_clockmod is in use
The new version of cpufrequtils is trying to load "acpi-cpufreq",
which is a much better choice on this hardware, but the presence of
"p4-clockmod" is preventing that. This should not cause the package to
fail to install.
After a reboot, acpi-cpufreq is loaded, everything seems to work
properly, and "apt-get -f install" succeeds.
