[mythtv-users] lirc broken after dist-upgrade

I'm running Fedora Core 3, kernel version 2.6.12-1.1381_FC3.

I did an apt-get update, followed by an apt-get dist-upgrade. All went
well, except now my remote is not working. I searched the lists and
google, and couldnt find anything that worked to fix it. I tried
symlinking /dev/lirc to /dev/lircd and that didnt work either. Any
ideas on what to do to fix it?

Thanks in advance.


 I get the following messages in /var/log/messages:

Nov 28 13:53:10 localhost lircd-0.8.0-CVS[3611]: accepted new client
on /dev/lircd
Nov 28 13:53:10 localhost lircd-0.8.0-CVS[3611]: could not get file
information for /dev/lirc

Here is the device listing:

[root at localhost ~]# ls -l /dev/lir*

And here is my modprobe.conf:
