The purpose of the --force-install option was to remove the concerns that you mention. --show-depends and --dry-run only rely on the install commands being written carefully if --force-install is used. So a distro that wants to use modprobe --show-depends --force-install module to get a full list of dependencies needs to make sure the install commands are written carefully. People who don't want to use the new functionality don't need to care.

Sorry, I missed that part before. I think this could work, thanks for the updated patch! Let's wait for after 11.1/SLE11, check that it's going to work well with mkinitrd and try to merge it upstream. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
