Obsolete command

Usage

update-modules

Overview

update-modules is an obsolete command which does nothing. Any program calling it should be fixed by not using it anymore.

Note that the file /etc/modprobe.conf is not the exact equivalent of /etc/modules.conf. It is not required for module-init-tools and is not generated any more. In fact, most people should not create that file since /etc/modprobe.d/* would be ignored in this case but Debian packages store their additional configuration files in /etc/modprobe.d/.

Releases

6 releases since Debian 2.1 (Slink); the text changed 5 times.

Bugs

This program should be removed after modutils will have been removed from the distribution and no package will try to use it anymore.
