    Package: oprofile-modules-2.4.26-1-686
    Version: 0.7.1-4
    Severity: grave
    File: /lib/modules/2.4.26-1-686/oprofile/oprofile.o
    Justification: renders package unusable

    oprofile-modules-2.4.26-1-686 0.7.1-4 doesn't work with kernel-image-2.4.26-1-686 2.4.26-4 (which is
    the latest one in Testing):

    I took a random symbol (register_sysctl_table) from the above list and grepped for it among the modules
    shipped with the kernel image. Opening two random modules (ip_vs_lblcr.o and arlan-proc.o) and
    checking the full function name gives:

    oprofile.o uses register_sysctl_table_Rc78a9016
    ip_vs_lblcr.o uses register_sysctl_table_R8b3d7398
    arlan-proc.o uses register_sysctl_table_R8b3d7398

    From this I conclude that the oprofile modules need to depend on a specific revision of the Debian
    kernel image.

    oprofile-modules-2.4.26-1-686 0.7.1-4 doesn't work with kernel-image-2.4.26-1-686 2.4.26-4 (which is
    the latest one in Testing):

    i just wanted to say that i have the same problem with this package.
