I guess we could remove the devname from vhci. Or we could disable vhci, since it is unlikely that anyone needs it. Or we could simply ignore the message and do useful things.

FYI, I get the same error with VirtualBox modules (I think..).

(4/4) upgrading virtualbox-host-modules [########################################################] 100%
depmod: ERROR: Module 'hci_vhci' has devname (vhci) but lacks major and minor information. Ignoring.
In order to use the new version, reload all virtualbox modules manually.

Apparently it breaks tools which rely on depmod to return a 0 value. Is there an upstream bug report? Not sure how to do that myself...

fyi. i noticed it today after the update. wasn't able to use optirun (bumblebee) after the update. rolled back for the time being.

upgrading to the following packages gave the depmod error for me.
1. linux-3.13.4-1
2. nvidia-331.38-3
3. bbswitch-0.8-6
4. virtualbox-host-modules-4.3.6-5
5. vhba-module-20130607-24

@gdpas: same problem here with bumblebee.

Is this related in any manner or is it just a coincidence due to the contemporary upgrade of the nvidia package?
