This is a good change, and I approve of the wording in the manpage.
However, of my three complaints, one remains unaddressed:
* Secondly, the warnings from depmod need to be easier to turn off. I
want a file somewhere where I can nobble all of Debian's invocations
of depmod. I couldn't find a place to do this.
There is some previous discussion about this in the bug logs, which I
thought was finished when I pointed out that the amount of output
involved was often unreasonable. Furthermore, I now see that the
program has been changed so that it now treats this problem as a fatal
error !
I think Thomas Hood's comment that `What remains of this report is a
request to clarify the man page' was inaccurate.
I think the easiest and most sensible way to meet my the requirement I
state would be for modules.conf to have a way to give default
arguments to depmod.
I will reopen this bug report and adjust the severity.
(This may seem like a request for a feature, but actually, it is a bug
that depmod fails to work in my installation. If it were only a
question of excessive warning output then I would be happy for the bug
to be `wishlist'.)
Ian.
