Description Tim Flink 2012-02-07 22:28:16 UTC

nfs-utils requires modutils which was provided by module-init-tools.

The newest build of kmod obsoletes module-init-tools (but provides module-init-tools) and makes nfs-utils non-installable.

Please change the requires:modutils to module-init-tools so that nfs-utils is installable

Comment 1 Tim Flink 2012-02-07 22:42:18 UTC

Installer image composition will fail without nfs-utils, so I'm proposing this as a blocker for F17 Alpha.

Comment 2 Daniel Berrangé 2012-02-08 12:03:10 UTC

This is preventing us rebuilding libvirt for F17 features too.

IIUC this suggests either that nfs-utils should be changed to depend
on kmod (but does this provide all of modutils?) or else kmod should
be changed to 'Provides' modutils.

The modutils explicit dependency was added ages ago:

  * Thu Mar 11 2004 Bill Nottingham <notting at redhat.com>
  - rpc_pipefs mounting and aliases are now in modutils; require that 

whatever that means .. rpc_pipefs is in nfs-utils, so it could be the
dependency is now bogus."
