----- Forwarded message from Philipp Weis <pweis@xxxxxxxxx> ----- Subject: Bug#548841: module-init-tools: Modprobe -q should always return 0. Reply-To: Philipp Weis <pweis@xxxxxxxxx>, 548841@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx From: Philipp Weis <pweis@xxxxxxxxx> To: Debian Bug Tracking System <submit@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Package: module-init-tools Version: 3.10-3 Severity: normal When calling modprobe -q with a non-existing module, it returns with exit code 1. According to the manpage, modprobe "normally" will report an error, and with -q shouldn't, so I believe the exist code should always be 0, at least that seems to be the assumption in some init scripts (e.g. binfmt-support).
