etch 2.6 kernel and modutils broken symlinks
Hi All My system is running etch with the latest updates and a 2.6 kernel. It has never installed or run a 2.4 or 2.2 kernel. I've noticed that my system has some files that belong to the modutils package (which is used with 2.2 and 2.4 kernels), however I don't have that package installed. The files are /sbin/ksyms and /bin/kallsyms, both of which are symbolic links to insmod.modutils which by the way doesn't exist. In addition to those two files there are the following files which are also symbolic links to the non-existant insmod.modutils: /sbin/modprobe.modutils /sbin/lsmod.modutils /sbin/rmmod.modutils /bin/lsmod.modutils Assuming that I continue to run 2.6 kernels, will these broken symbolic links and missing insmod.modutils cause problems for my system? If so, are there any recommended fixes ? BTW, why are these broken symbolic links present on my system ? Is this a known issue ?

Ignore them, they disappeared in lenny anyway. BTW, why are these broken symbolic links present on my system ? Is this They are needed. a known issue ? Yes. -- ciao, Marco -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
