Hi,
We tried to install the lastest kernel update kernel-2.6.32-358.6.1.el6 and due
to
an odd chain of dependencies, all openafs packages were removed.
On our systems, we only keep 2 kernels (as opposed to the default of 3). So we
have
kernels:
# rpm -q kernel
kernel-2.6.32-279.19.1.el6.x86_64
kernel-2.6.32-358.2.1.el6.x86_64
and openafs packages:
openafs.x86_64 1.6.2-0.144.sl6
@sl/6.2
openafs-client.x86_64 1.6.2-0.144.sl6
@sl/6.2
openafs-krb5.x86_64 1.6.2-0.144.sl6
@sl/6.2
openafs-module-tools.x86_64 1.6.2-0.144.sl6
@sl-security/6.2
kmod-openafs.noarch 1.6.2-4.SL64.el6
@sl-security/6.2
kmod-openafs-279.x86_64 1.6.2-0.144.sl6.279
@sl-security/6.2
kmod-openafs-358.x86_64 1.6.2-0.144.sl6.358.0.1
@sl-security/6.2
When the kernel-2.6.32-358.6.1 packages install (due to installonly_limit=2 in
our yum.conf), the
"279" kernel is removed and that triggers the removal of kmod-openafs-279.
That seems to trigger
the removal of kmod-openafs and THAT triggers the removal of kmod-openafs-358.
All this seems to trigger the removal of openafs-client and that leads to local
afs-depend
packages to be removed (usrlocalITbin). The output from a yum upgrade follows:
# yum update kernel

Is this ok [y/N]:
People may not see this behavior this time around if they are defaulting to
keeping
three kernels installed, but it will sure hit everyone with the next kernel
update.
-Joe Szep
That is unexpected behavior, thanks for the report!
Could we copy the kmod-openafs only depending on the module for the latest
kernel over from 6.4 to the other repos?
I've placed a version in sl-testing that should resolve the problem.
May I request some testing to be sure it is acceptable?
