Hi all,
I've packaged several kernel modules for my kernels. Each rpm provides
"kernel-modules" so that yum will tag them as install-only. But I'm getting a
strange behaviour when trying to update them. Notice the different commands I
ran, and the different results. Why does the second case work fine and the
first one doesn't?
(The examples below have different versions of the pvfs package, all 3 are
built with the exact same spec. Only the software instead the rpms and the
release number differ. Also note that pvfs.spec builds the "pvfs" user-space
i386 package, and pvfs-{up,smp,bigmem} packages as i586 and i686.)
[root@hpc065 root]# rpm -q rpm yum
rpm-4.2.2-0.14
yum-2.0.7-1usc
[root@hpc065 root]# rpm -qa | grep pvfs
pvfs-smp-1.6.3-0pre1.2.4.21.15.0.3.EL.2usc.20usc
pvfs-smp-1.6.3-0pre1.2.4.21.15.0.3.EL.2usc.21usc
pvfs-1.6.3-0pre1.2.4.21.15.0.3.EL.2usc.21usc
Test #1... fails
[root@hpc065 root]# yum update

I will do the following:
[install: pvfs-smp 1:1.6.3-0pre2.2.4.21.15.0.3.EL.2usc.1usc.i686]
[update: pvfs 1:1.6.3-0pre2.2.4.21.15.0.3.EL.2usc.1usc.i386]
Is this ok [y/N]: y
