module-init-tools removale?

[Raffi Khatchadourian]

Hey John. Thanks for the reply. I, personally, do not need this upgrade, 
but for some reason apt-get dist-upgrade does and also wants to remove 
the module-init-tools package. I am running a 2.6 kernel. Perhaps there 
is some package management issues with FC3 and apt. Has anyone 
encountered similiar problems?
