Transaction Check Error:
package kernel-2.6.26.5-39.fc9.i686 (which is newer than kernel-2.6.26.3-29.fc9.i686) is already installed
package kernel-2.6.26.5-45.fc9.i686 (which is newer than kernel-2.6.26.3-29.fc9.i686) is already installed
What is going on is that the most recent kernel acceptable to the livna
kmod-nvidia module isn't installed, so yum tries to drag it in, only to
fail because more recent kernels are already installed. So basically, yum
is doing something sensible, but the livna repository doesn't have
updates-testing kernel support.
Correct afaics. Normally that doesn't result in problems like these, but
the two weeks buildsys outage livna had lead to this error.
Further: The plan is to have suppose for updates-testing in RPM Fusion soon.
Workaround for now:
# rpm -e kmod-nvidia --nodeps
# yum install akmod-nvidia
HTH
I'm not sure that this makes sense.
Consider the following installed rpms (and I hvae akmod-nvidia
installed)
[rodd@moose ~]$ rpm -q kernel
kernel-2.6.25.14-108.fc9.i686
kernel-2.6.26.5-39.fc9.i686
kernel-2.6.26.5-45.fc9.i686
[rodd@moose ~]$ rpm -qa | grep nvidia
kmod-nvidia-173.14.12-3.lvn9.i686
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-173.14.12-1.lvn9.i386
kmod-nvidia-2.6.26.5-39.fc9.i686-173.14.12-2.fc9.i686
kmod-nvidia-2.6.26.5-45.fc9.i686-173.14.12-2.fc9.i686
akmod-nvidia-173.14.12-2.lvn9.i686
kmod-nvidia-2.6.25.14-108.fc9.i686-173.14.12-3.lvn9.i686
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-173.14.12-1.lvn9.i386
If what people is saying is true, then why is yum trying to install an
older version of kmod-nvidia than I already have?
Because there is a newer kmod-nvidia package in livna that tracks in
that kmod-nvidia-1-2-3 for kernel-1.2.3. But you already have
kernel-1.2.4 from updates-testing.
