Bug 9632 – update-modules fails if there is a subdirectory in /etc/modules.d

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Benjamin Ritcey 2002-10-24 20:44:21 UTC]

update-modules fails if there is a subdirectory in /etc/modules.d, causing
module loading to fail.  In particular, if you're using RCS to track config
changes (you are, aren't you? =), the RCS subdirectory will make it choke.

Here's a simple patch to ignore subdirectories (the implicit behavior now):

+++ update-modules.orig 2002-10-24 17:37:35.000000000 -0400

-
        [ ! -r ${cfg} ] && continue
 
        echo "### update-modules: start processing ${cfg}" >> ${TMPFILE}

Whoops;  I have the nature of the patch reversed -- add those lines, don't
remove them =)

Fixed on CVS, thanks.
