Hello I ran module-rebuild as my user and think there's a typographical error in the message displayed: dan@tui ~ $ module-rebuild This application must be ran as root. dan@tui ~ $ Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: As any user other than root, run "module-rebuild". Actual Results: dan@tui ~ $ /usr/sbin/module-rebuild This application must be ran as root. dan@tui ~ $ Expected Results: dan@tui ~ $ /tmp/module-rebuild This application must be run as root. dan@tui ~ $ Patch to fix: dan@tui ~ $ diff -u /usr/sbin/module-rebuild /tmp/module-rebuild --- /usr/sbin/module-rebuild 2008-07-07 02:48:44.000000000 +0100 +++ /tmp/module-rebuild 2008-09-18 21:46:40.000000000 +0100 @@ -8,7 +8,7 @@ # Copyright Gentoo Linux if [[ `id -u` != 0 ]]; then - echo "This application must be ran as root." + echo "This application must be run as root." exit 1 fi dan@tui ~ $
It could have been speled that way on purpose ;) Assigning to maintainers.
Fixed in module-rebuild-0.6, sorry for the delay
