Well.. I'm not saying the current output is the best, but I just don't want to dig a deeper hole that will further confuse people, as some users may get even more confused with additional details. > At this point I'm also not concerned about waiting for an ideal solution. > IMO an incremental change here would be most welcome. Wouldn't noting this in the manpage be sufficient? I ran into this `item' (:)..) today after a power outage because nvidia-driver was built against different kernel headers, and it prints out the error clear as day on /dev/console, so I'm tempted to say that documenting the behavior is enough as long as it's clear that that is in fact the behavior that the user is dealing with :).
