Perhaps I'm dumb, but after reading your wiki page I'm still not seeing where the current scheme really falls over. We have kmod packages treated like kernel packages in that they are install rather than upgrade. This is the same way that the kernel is handled, and if people do silly things with the rpm command line they can break their kernel just as easily as they can break their kernel modules. We have this handling in yum, which is the basis of every depsolver we support in Fedora / Red Hat. Yum is used by pup, puplet, pirut, and anaconda. All of these make use of the special casing we have in Yum and handle kmods correctly by installing rather than upgrading them. If other depsolvers don't, well that's really too bad and its up to those depsolvers to handle the packages correctly like they (should) handle kernel packages correctly. So, I guess I'm being dumb, and I need it spelled out in big foam letters as I'm just not getting it, and thus I can't vote on it. -- Jesse Keating Release Engineer: Fedora
