In the examples below, ibmasm, gm, and pvfs are all 3rd party modules that I'm packaging in the exact same way. Note that it errors on both gm-smp and pvfs-smp, but why not ibmasm?... [root@hpcjr001 root]# yum update [..snip..] I will do the following: [install: ibmasm-smp 1:2.02-2.4.21.15.0.3.EL.2usc.19usc.i686] [install: gm-smp 1:2.0.12.20040520-2.4.21.15.0.3.EL.2usc.23usc.i686] [install: pvfs-smp 1:1.6.3-0pre2.2.4.21.15.0.3.EL.2usc.2usc.i686] [update: ibmasm 1:2.02-2.4.21.15.0.3.EL.2usc.19usc.i386] [update: pvfs 1:1.6.3-0pre2.2.4.21.15.0.3.EL.2usc.2usc.i386] [update: gm 1:2.0.12.20040520-2.4.21.15.0.3.EL.2usc.23usc.i686] Is this ok [y/N]: y [..snip..] Running test transaction: Errors reported doing trial run file /lib/modules/2.4.21-15.0.3.EL.2uscsmp/gm/gm.o from install of gm-smp-2.0.12.20040520-2.4.21.15.0.3.EL.2usc.23usc conflicts with file from package gm-smp-2.0.12.20040520-2.4.21.15.0.3.EL.2usc.22usc file /lib/modules/2.4.21-15.0.3.EL.2uscsmp/kernel/fs/pvfs/pvfs.o from install of pvfs-smp-1.6.3-0pre2.2.4.21.15.0.3.EL.2usc.2usc conflicts with file from package pvfs-smp-1.6.3-0pre1.2.4.21.15.0.3.EL.2usc.20usc file /lib/modules/2.4.21-15.0.3.EL.2uscsmp/kernel/fs/pvfs/pvfs.o from install of pvfs-smp-1.6.3-0pre2.2.4.21.15.0.3.EL.2usc.2usc conflicts with file from package pvfs-smp-1.6.3-0pre1.2.4.21.15.0.3.EL.2usc.21usc As I showed last night, 'yum update pvfs-smp' works fine, I'll save you the long copy/paste that is basicly the same.
