From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040217 Description of problem: modprobe -c | grep eth0 used to print only: alias eth0 <module> now it prints the line above plus: install eth0 /bin/true This may cause problems to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/network-functions:is_available(), that runs: alias=`modprobe -c | awk "/^(alias|install) $1 / { print \\$3 }"` if [ -z "$alias" -o "$alias" = "off" -o "$alias" = "/bin/true" ]; then it doesn't expect two lines of output, and actually fails, printing confusing error messages because of this. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): modutils-2.4.26-5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.modprobe -c | grep eth0 Actual Results: If there is an entry for eth0 in /etc/modprobe.conf, you get two lines, one from /etc/modprobe.conf, one from /etc/modprobe.conf.dist, the second being a dummy install /bin/true line. Expected Results: Just the alias line in /etc/modprobe.conf Additional info:
Fixed in 2.4.26-6.
Confirmed, thanks.
