I was trying to figure out why I had kernel-debug* packages installed, and tracked it to xl2tpd wanting "kmod(l2tp_ppp.ko)". That is provided by kernel-debug-modules-extra and kernel-modules-extra; dnf choose to install the -debug version (which then pulls in the debug kernel as well). That means that any kernel update downloads more data and takes longer to install, and the boot menu has twice as many options (which can be confusing to some people). I looked in bugzilla, and there are already two bugs (at least) for this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1192189 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1284228 The first one is almost 2 years old! That means that anybody that wants L2TP support (which is in some default package sets I believe) gets unneeded debug kernels. Surely something can be done to fix this? It seems that the root of the problem is that dnf resolves dependencies differently from yum and refuses to change to the old well-known behavior. -- Chris Adams <linux@xxxxxxxxxxx> _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
