Re: [expert] Dependency Problem

[Austin L. Denyer (SysAdmin.) as root]

I'm upgrading from 2.1.121-16mdk to 2.3.14-1.  The 2.1.121 version came
with Mandrake 7.0, and I need to upgrade in order to run an updated
kernel (2.4.test6) for USB support of my zip drive.

The output of rpm -Uvh modutils-2.3.14-1.i386.rpm is

error: failed dependencies:
        /sbin/is_depmod_necessary is needed by initscripts-4.72-13mdk

However, my older version (2.1.121-16mdk) is installed correctly...

What am I doing wrong - should I uninstall the old one first?

Regards,
Ozz.
