I've modded the spec to my _suse_ env, which deviates from dulug's for obvious reasons(*) and consequently call those packages .lisa (which is the name of the company, I'm responsible for). > > 2.

Well, it's the other part, which shows the problem with "yum update". I bet, that yum shell would precede (but would leave kernel-source with a dangling dependancy, then). > > 3. what's all the kernel.i586 stuff and specifically kernel-source? > > Where did that come from? > > oh hell, this is suse, isn't it?

Needless to say, if I remove it, yum update seems to do it right: ============================================================================= Package Arch Version Repository Size ============================================================================= Installing: kernel-default i586 2.6.11.4-21.7 updates 16 M kernel-default-nongpl i586 2.6.11.4-21.7 updates 5.3 M Updating: kernel-source i586 2.6.11.4-21.7 updates 39 M kernel-syms i586 2.6.11.4-21.7 updates 469 k The question is, isn't my whole issue a red herring in the first place, or should yum deal with such a somewhat bogus setting? I've kept this system in this state for now to be able to do further checks, if requested. Pete (*) I'm trying to convince others of the advantages of yum and repo maintainers to run createrepo, since I'm tired of mirroring everything. BTW: the check option of createrepo is surely an additional argument for the latter.
