Yeah, as Julian said, the asterisk installer does a check to see if there
are any modules in /usr/lib/asterisk/modules.  If there are, it will return
that warning.  This includes if you install the addons prior to installing
asterisk itself.  I've always made sure that the modules directory was
cleared (moved all the old modules to another folder in case I need to
revert to the old version), then installed asterisk, then any addons.

If you're using the latest versions of everything, though, you should be
fine.  The error message is there to make sure you don't try to use
older/incompatible versions of modules with a newer version of asterisk.
