Hello SL Users,
We have for instance the following situation:
- SL51 host with kernel-2.6.18-53.1.4.el5 (among others)
- kernel-module-openafs-2.6.18-53.1.4.el5 2 1.4.6 73.slp5
is installed but removed recently from the update repo.
- kernel-module-openafs-2.6.18-53.1.4.el5 0 1.4.6 58.SL5
is still in the sl51base repo, but not installed
Now, when I am running "yum update" on a SL51 system with the
kernel kernel-2.6.18-53.1.4.el5 installed, the kernel-module
plugin (package yum-3.0.6-3.sl) tries to install
kernel-module-openafs-2.6.18-53.1.4.el5 0 1.4.6 58.SL5
from the sl51base repo. Eventually, yum fails with the corresponding
message "blabla which is newer is already installed".
Why does the kernel-module plugin
only check what's the newest version of a kernel module
in the repo and sets it to be installed,
regardless if the version installed is newer.
Regards,
Marc
