is there any way i can get rid of the message '/etc/modutils/0keep: line 9:
keep: command not found [etc]' while i am doing the upgrade.
btw, when i remove the x permission from 0keep, i get similar messages
for /etc/modutils/actions and other files in modutils/. i tried removing x
permission for all files in modutils/, and then got same kind of message for
files deeper into the directory structure. at that point i gave up on it.
