When I install ndiswrapper it looks for /lib/modules/extramodules/version that does not exists

the error is:
adding "alias wlan0 ndiswrapper" to /etc/modules.conf ...
cat: /lib/modules/extramodules/version: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type


it comes from install that uses
depmod $(cat /lib/modules/$EXTRAMODULES/version)

and there is
EXTRAMODULES='extramodules'

I have a /lib/modules/extramodules-3.1-ARCH/version here

may we need a rational about the use of this extramodules directory ??? because none agree on its use.
This task depends upon

the .INSTALL from the package is kinda wrong and different from trunk.

extramodules-3.1-ARCH is a hack to avoid compiling external kernel modules with every linux package update.

if you noticed, now uname -r returns full kernel version, including pkgrel.

/lib/modules/3.1.6-1-ARCH/extramodules is a symlink to /lib/modules/extramodules-3.1-ARCH/
