Problem installing "modutils" (urgent)

[tansj]

Good Day to All.

Im here to request for help.

Im currently using Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 and have "module.init.tools" package installed.

I need to install the "modutils" package before I can install a driver of an I/O module fitted in my PCI-Express Slot in my server. However, while installing the "modutils" rpm package, there was an error. The details of the error is as shown:-

file /sbin/depmod from install of modutils-2.1.85-9.i386 conflicts with file from package module-init-tools-3-0.pre3.1.42.el5.i386
file /sbin/insmod from install of modutils-2.1.85-9.i386 conflicts with file from package module-init-tools-3-0.pre3.1.42.el5.i386

file /sbin/rmmod from install of modutils-2.1.85-9.i386 conflicts with file from package module-init-tools-3-0.pre3.1.42.el5.i386[/COLOR][/COLOR]

Can anyone advice me what to do? Thanks.

Is module-init-tools something that can be removed? If so, remove it, then install modutils. Looks like both may provide several of the same programs.

yup. both modules cannot work concurrently. thanks anyways.
