[arch-general] Kernel Update 3.3.8.1 -> 3.4.2-2 failed

[Nelson Marambio]

OK, this may be the solution:

Because typing 'depmod' returned a 'command not found' I recognized that 
my current $PATH was different from /etc/profile .

So with 'source /etc/profile' the missing directories were added again, 
this seems to be even permanent up to now.

Afterwards I could upgrade the kernel without any problems.
