------------------------------------
Package: modutils

1. Topic:
The modutils package was missing a critical
program used when compiling the Linux kernel.
2. Problem:
The modutils package was missing /sbin/genksyms.
This missing program is necessary in order to

to keep your system up-to-date. The following command(s) will
automatically retrieve and install the fixed version of
this update onto your system:
yup update modutils
b) Updating manually...
The update can also be retrieved manually from our ftp site
below along with the rpm command that should be used to install
the update. (Please use a mirror site)
