Keith,

Please consider the attached patch for inclusion in all future versions
of the modutils depmod program for compatiblity with RedHat and
RedHat derived Linux distributions. This patch only requires
4 very short changes to depmod.c as opposed to thousands of
changes necessary in anaconda and other RedHat compatible
programs and scripts to work with your standard depmod
programs without these changes.

Thanks

Jeff
