Description Thorsten Leemhuis 2014-01-18 11:45:41 UTC

Description of problem:
The afaics only reliable way to get the kernel-devel package for the kernel variant (stock, PAE, debug, ...) you are running is a command like this:

 yum install "kernel-devel-uname-r = $(uname -r)"

But that does not work with dnf:

"""
[thl@thl-t420 ~]$ LC_ALL=C sudo dnf install "kernel-devel-uname-r = 3.12.8-300.fc20.x86_64"
No package kernel-devel-uname-r = 3.12.8-300.fc20.x86_64 available.
Error: Nothing to do.
[thl@thl-t420 ~]$ LC_ALL=C sudo yum install "kernel-devel-uname-r = 3.12.8-300.fc20.x86_64"

Quote from a earlier IRC-Discussion in #yum:
"""
(13:51:50) knurd: is it a known #dnf limitation that ' dnf install "kernel-devel-uname-r = 3.12.6-300.fc20.x86_64" ' doesn't work (in F20; yes, dnf can see that package), or is that worth reporting a bug?
(13:53:18) knurd: s/reopening/opening/ 
(14:01:59) akozumpl: knurd: that should work, open a bug and we will take a look
(16:05:43) geppetto: Pretty sure knurd's problem is that dnf doesn't parse "dnf update foo=bah"
(16:09:03) geppetto: Dito. install

Comment 1 Ales Kozumplik 2014-01-20 09:04:07 UTC

As discussed, this is a real bug/missing function. People jut don't use this functionality often enough for us to find out earlier. We will fix this.

Comment 2 Ales Kozumplik 2014-01-30 14:59:14 UTC

Fixed upstream by 7613c16.
