Comment 26 for bug 550369

I tried to manually run dpk-reconfigure and got this error:

lirc_imon.ko:
Running module version sanity check.

Error! Module version 0.6 for lirc_imon.ko
is not newer than what is already found in kernel 2.6.32-21-generic (0.6).
You may override by specifying --force.

--force did not help.

I then removed the lirc_imon.ko file before running dpkg-reconfigure again.
Now the lirc_imon.ko was updated, I can modprobe it but irw won't show any activity ...
