On the system, we've got: kernel-2.6.11-1.27_FC3 kernel-2.6.11-1.35_FC3 kernel-smp-2.6.11-1.27_FC3 kernel-smp-2.6.11-1.35_FC3 openafs-1.3.84-1 openafs-client-1.3.84-1 kernel-module-openafs-1.3.84-1_2.6.11-1.27_FC3 kernel-module-openafs-1.3.84-1_2.6.11-1.35_FC3 kernel-module-openafs-1.3.84-1_2.6.11-1.27_FC3smp kernel-module-openafs-1.3.84-1_2.6.11-1.35_FC3smp If we add a new kernel, say: kernel-2.6.11-1.40_FC3 kernel-smp-2.6.11-1.40_FC3 Okay, the Magic makes the depsolver pull in kernel-module-openafs-1.3.84-1_2.6.11-1.40_FC3 kernel-module-openafs-1.3.84-1_2.6.11-1.40_FC3smp and we're all good. Okay, but now say there's an updated openafs-1.3.85. So we've got to figure out that: kernel-module-openafs-1.3.84-1_2.6.11-1.27_FC3 -> 1.3.85-1_2.6.11-1.27_FC3 kernel-module-openafs-1.3.84-1_2.6.11-1.35_FC3 -> 1.3.85-1_2.6.11-1.35_FC3 kernel-module-openafs-1.3.84-1_2.6.11-1.40_FC3 -> 1.3.85-1_2.6.11-1.40_FC3 (plus smp) And to complicate things, you also have the potential to have to deal with kernel-module-openafs-1.3.84-1_2.6.11-1.27_FC3 -> 1.3.85-2_2.6.11-1.27_FC3 kernel-module-openafs-1.3.84-1_2.6.11-1.35_FC3 -> 1.3.85-2_2.6.11-1.35_FC3 kernel-module-openafs-1.3.84-1_2.6.11-1.40_FC3 -> 1.3.85-2_2.6.11-1.40_FC3 and kernel-module-openafs-1.3.85-1_2.6.11-1.27_FC3 -> 1.3.85-2_2.6.11-1.27_FC3 kernel-module-openafs-1.3.85-1_2.6.11-1.35_FC3 -> 1.3.85-2_2.6.11-1.35_FC3 kernel-module-openafs-1.3.85-1_2.6.11-1.40_FC3 -> 1.3.85-2_2.6.11-1.40_FC3 . Maybe this'll all work, but, gah. :) -- Matthew Miller mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx <http://www.mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/> Current office temperature: 77 degrees Fahrenheit. -- Fedora-packaging mailing list Fedora-packaging@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging
