I think your patch had a few problems. It seemed to me like the list of
modules you get from updates clobbers the list pointer you already got
from the whole tree, losing the original tree completely.
I've given it a go and have created a working patch which I tested in
various conditions.
Patch is at
http://thomas.apestaart.org/download/patches/modutils/module-init-tools-u...
and an updated RPM at
http://thomas.apestaart.org/download/pkg/fedora-2-i386-fedora-stable/modu...
1000 x thanks, Thomas!
Would it make sense to patch the current rawhide
module-init-tools-3.0-0.pre10.1 instead of modutils? rawhide seems to
have dumped/merged modutils away.
Please check if this works for you.
I've also commented on the bug you entered in RH's bugzilla.
Jeremy Katz has also tested the patch.
Or, Jeremy, are you considering a modutils update for FC2? Most repos
would be very grateful to have core support for /updates/, instead of
having to offer patched modutils/module-init-tools rpms (yes,
replacing core packages is considered a sin in some religions ;)
