Ditto on my ppc machine.

"man update-modules" says:

  update-modules is an obsolete command which does nothing. Any
  program calling it should be fixed.

Isn't it a bug in module-init-tools, then? If update-modules does
nothing, it should be removed! IMHO, setserial does the right thing:
before executing update-modules, it tests whether it is available,
so that it can work with old versions of module-init-tools (where
update-modules is useful) *and* with future ones where update-modules
should be removed.
