Hi all,
I'm wondering if I'm running into some dependency issues on my CentOS5
test-machines. I've installed with a fairly minimal package set,
updated, removed old kernels and am now experimenting with iscsi and gfs.
I think I need kmod-gfs to get gfs -support, but there is only a version
that suits the base-kernel, 2.6.18-8.el5.
"
[root@node02 ~]# yum install kmod-gfs
(...)
Installing:
kmod-gfs i686 0.1.16-5.2.6.18_8.el5 base
133 k
Installing for dependencies:
kernel i686 2.6.18-8.el5 base
12 M
"
...so I'm getting the /old/ kernel, to install kmod-gfs.
"
Transaction Check Error:
package kernel-2.6.18-8.1.3.el5 (which is newer than
kernel-2.6.18-8.el5) is already installed
"
...but not.
On a different system (installed with clustering and storage-clustering
package-groups), I got kmod-gfs installed;
[root@dics073 ~]# rpm -ql kmod-gfs
/lib/modules/2.6.18-8.el5/extra/gfs
/lib/modules/2.6.18-8.el5/extra/gfs/gfs.ko
[root@dics073 ~]# find /lib/modules/ | grep gfs.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.18-8.1.4.el5/weak-updates/gfs/gfs.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.18-8.el5/extra/gfs/gfs.ko
...so what happened here?
This system is x86-64 while my problem-systems are i386, but that should
not be an issue, I hope?
I also found this;
http://lists.us.dell.com/pipermail/dkms-devel/2007-February/000529.html
...which seems to explain the situation somewhat.
...but how should I fix my problem - where the RPM I want to install
depends on an RPM that can't be installed? (well, I'll be able to jam it
in, of course, but...)
Is this just me doing something silly (capability-upgrading a system
after having run an update), or is this an actual dependency issue?
