[Bug 1004239] Re: lirc postinst lists modules from incorrect directory

[Joel Ebel]

Ari, you have something worse broken about your installation.  You
should try to purge lirc and reinstall it.  I'm not seeing the errors
you are getting.

bobwdn, it looks like you didn't actually successfully build the
package.  If it built lirc-x_0.9.0-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb then you didn't
install the patch.  If there's no deb built, then the package failed to
build.  There's probably an error that showed up in one of the steps
that you missed.
