Speaking of kernel updates, what the hell does the /sbin/kernel-update-tool do, anyway?
I don't have such a file here, nor anywhere in my system. I also grepped (it sounds familiar, somehow) in the entire /usr/src/linux directory and found no mention of it.
Is that the correct spelling?
Yes it's correct (except it's /usr/sbin). It's in noarch and the description is Kernel driver packages contain kernel loadable modules, and only work with a specific kernel package. The kernel upgrade tool (/sbin/kernel-upgrade-tool) supports kernel package status inquiry, and handles driver packages during kernel installations and upgrades (user interaction, driver download and/or reuse of drivers for more recent kernels). Note that the text is wrong. The program is /usr/sbin/kernel-update-tool It helps you update the kernel, and to get updated versions of kernel module packages external to the main kernel package when you update the kernel Ugh, that sentence doesn't look good, I hope the meaning comes across :)
