I have a similar issue, some packages require a certain linux kernel or kernel modules to be installed using the rpm mechism. I never do that though because I always build my own kernel. For this issue I have an almost-completely empty directory and dummy spec file, that builds into an rpm with no files, only "provides". It where absolutely better if a package could be dependent upon a certain kernel (or minimum kernel version) without depending on a package being installed. I guess the package builders should build a check into the preinstall script instead of using a simple dependancy. _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
