I see from bug #540029 that you've acknowledged this bug, but have apparently taken the unfortunate route of ignoring it.
To re-iterate, I solidly agree with you, that maintainers using deprecated /broken/non-working utilities need to be told off. We are on the same page here. However, your approach commits the cardinal sin of wasting the end user's time. There is absolutely no good reason to do this. The end user has done nothing wrong and does *not* need to be told off in any way. If you want to ask the user to report bugs, I can accept that, but: a) The message doesn't convey that this is a bug that needs to be filed b) The sleep is WAY out of line. Print a large warning and be done with it. The only sane way forward is to remove the sleep, and it'd probably also be a good idea to make it more clear in the output that a bug should be filed against whichever package called update-modules. -- Jonas Häggqvist rasher(at)rasher(dot)dk PS.
