baselayout 1.12.7-r3 and -r4 (-r2 as well I think) do not install /sbin/modules-update anymore, instead sys-apps/module-init-tools does. These versions of baselayout do not, however, depend on a version of module-init-tools (3.2.2-r2) that takes care of that. This means that the currently stable module-init-tools 3.2.2-r1 is used, which does not install /sbin/modules-update.

i dont see the bug
(In reply to comment #1) > i dont see the bug > /etc/init.d/modules can call modules-update so techically baselayout should depend on a module-init-tools. betelgeuse@pena ~/foo/diff $ qlist baselayout | xargs grep modules-update /etc/init.d/modules: echo '### This file is automatically generated by modules-update' \ /etc/init.d/modules: /sbin/modules-update
latest version has it in PDEPEND per irc discussion
