Description Andrej Kacian (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-08-25 11:47:57 UTC
By emerging new version of modutils (2.4.27), I broke my system - luckily, guys on #gentoo-dev told me that modutils is deprecated in favor of module-init-tools on 2.6.x kernels. I never knew this before.

I suggest adding a block to each of these two package, and an ewarn message to kernel-2.eclass telling user to unmerge modutils and emerge module-init-tools if he just upgraded from 2.4.
