I want to clean that up but it breaks existing behaviour; somewhere, somebody is bound to rely on depmod -V updating modules.dep at the same time. modutils 2.5 will clean up a lot of backwards compatibility crud, including this one. But you will not see modutils 2.5 until Linus rolls kernel 2.5 and we start the next development cycle. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
