That's feasible, and probably the right thing to do. But it only matters when the kmod and filesystem packages are not installed before the dependency calculation is performed. Which is probably why this went unnoticed for a few years. Is rpm-ostree the context here too? -- Stephan Wiesand DESY -DV- Platanenenallee 6 15738 Zeuthen, Germany _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list OpenAFS-info@openafs.org https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
