RHBA-2014:1437 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
module-init-tools bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated module-init-tools packages that fix one bug are now available for Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The module-init-tools packages include various programs needed for automatic
loading and unloading of modules under 2.6 kernels, as well as other module
management programs. Device drivers and file systems are two examples of loaded
and unloaded modules.
This update fixes the following bug:
- The modprobe utility did not previously recognize information about soft
module dependencies in the modinfo section of the queried kernel modules. This
update implements support for soft module dependencies, and the "modprobe
- -show-depends" command now returns this information as expected. (BZ#1045169)
Users of module-init-tools are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which fix this bug.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
