SOS; apt-get dist-updrade mashes modules

[david J Patrick]

I suspect a knoppix hardware setting has been orphaned as result of my 
"apt-get remove knx-alsa" command.
In attempts to understand the source of my troubles I am wading through 
/etc/modutils and etc/modules and found two suspects;

1) /etc/modutils/alsa (Oct31) a symlink to /etc/alsa/modutils/0.9
	this is a symlink that
		a) points to /etc/alsa/modutils/0.9
--------------------------------------------------------------
###  DEBCONF MAGIC # This file was automatically generated by al-

alias char-major-116 snd alias char-major-14 soundcore

options snd major=116 cards_limit=4

alias  sound-service-0-0  snd-mixer-oss  alias  sound-service-0-1
snd-seq-oss  alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-ser-
vice-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
----------------------------------------------------------------
		b) seems to be a broken link ! (konqueror says it "doesn't seem to 
exist anymore") ??
	I know that's a contradiction. I can't see why the link is broken, but 
both konqueror and mc inditcate that it is.

2) /etc/modutils/alsa-0.9-knoppix (Oct 27)

I though I had removed knx-alsa ..
	how much for a clue ?
thanks,
