i now spend many hours to find the reason why yum always install kmod

update any kmod the same problem will arise.
What is the package names and commands you tried, and their responses ?
in case of fedora where
kmod's are hardwired to a given kernel it's not a problem (but those are
never weak-update kmods), but in case of centos where eg in 5.3 all
kernel a kabi compatible then we can use none kernel version specific
kmods. what's more in case of weak-updates kmod when the same package
has more version installed cause many problems.
suppose i've got a kmod installed eg:
# rpm -q kmod-fuse
kmod-fuse-2.7.4-20.el5
now i build a new one
Is the new one's NVR > than the old one ? Does rpmdev-vercmp think so ?
and try to update with yum update.
it's always
? can't ?
install it and i can't force yum to update it. anybody can tell me the
reason?
If it is a local file, then are you doing localinstall /file/name.rpm ?
Please show the exact command, and the response.
You might find useful info by adding yum -d 15 to the command.
imho it's the same reason as the recent dbrd kmod thread where wasn't
any solution.
Please give the mailing list archive URL, no idea what you are talking
about here ?
anyway anybody know what is the yum-kmod and what is it good for? and
try both with/without yum-kmod but the same happened:-(
A comparison of debug runs might lead to a better understanding.
