Answer 1

This thread appears to have a solution - basically upgrade your kernel.

Btw. the reason for this according to an exchange between Luis Henriques and Al Viro on LKML was an API rename in the kernel to merge a FUSE flag with another more general flag.

Answer 2

First you can try to install module from cache,

apt-cache search fuse

if this doesn't work--- you can install fuse module with module-assistant,

apt-get install module-assistant

apt-get install fuse-source

cd /usr/src

m-a prepare

m-a a-i fuse

depmod -ae $(uname -r)

Now you can,

modprobe fuse
