I have yum-3.2.2-1.fc7. Previously I disabled the installonlyn plugin. Now yum not only insists on removing stuff, it even takes away required packages for the current kernel. Feast your eyes. I want to install the new kernel from updates-testing. I run # yum update kernel iwl* --enablerepo=updates-testing [snip] Dependencies Resolved ============================================================================= Package Arch Version Repository Size ============================================================================= Installing: kernel i686 2.6.22.1-41.fc7 updates-testing 16 M Removing: kernel i686 2.6.22.1-20.fc7 installed 46 M kernel i686 2.6.22.1-27.fc7 installed 46 M Removing for dependencies: kmod-nvidia i686 100.14.11-1.2.6.22.1_20.fc7 installed 7.5 M kmod-nvidia i686 100.14.11-1.2.6.22.1_27.fc7 installed 7.5 M kmod-nvidia i686 100.14.11-1.2.6.22.1_33.fc7 installed 7.5 M xorg-x11-drv-nvidia i386 100.14.11-1.lvn7 installed 15 M xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-devel i386 100.14.11-1.lvn7 installed 616 k Transaction Summary ============================================================================= Install 1 Package(s) Update 0 Package(s) Remove 7 Package(s) Total download size: 16 M Is this ok [y/N]: N Exiting on user Command Why is it trying to remove kernel module for the CURRENTLY RUNNING kernel, 2.6.22.1_33.fc7, even though it does not propose to remove that kernel? And why is it removing the xorg packages. That's absolutely nuts. And now that installonlyn is no longer in use, how I stop yum from trying to remove packages? -- Paul E.
