Description Ali-Reza Anghaie 2003-11-04 12:06:10 UTC

Description of problem:

up2date -l shows the kernel-2.4.21-4.0.1.EL errata available although
it's already installed. up2date --show-available does ~not~ show
kernel-2.4.21-4.0.1.EL as available. up2date interactice shows it but
won't install it once it checks for conflicts, because it's already
installed.

And up2date kernel-doc tried to all install kernel-2.4.21-4.0.1.EL as
a package until I did an up2date -p, then it only showed kernel-doc as
available.

Buuuutttt... up2date -l still shows kernel-2.4.21-4.0.1.EL as well as
interactive. Although RHN does not show this as missing.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

up2date-4.0.1-1
kernel-2.4.21-4.0.1.EL

How reproducible:

Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. up2date -l  &&  up2date --show-available
2.
3.
  
Actual results:

Still thinks kernel errata is not installed.

Expected results:

Stop bugging me about kernel errata.

Additional info:

The RHN applet also doesn't complain, it thinks the kernel is
installed. Just up2date -l and up2date interactive have this problem.

Comment 2 Ali-Reza Anghaie 2003-11-12 23:36:35 UTC

Changing priority and severity. No matter what I do trying to use
up2date, once I remove the kernel exception (and since I run by hand
or schedule online, I want the exception removed) it now:


RPM package conflict error.  The message was:
Test install failed because of package conflicts:
package kernel-2.4.21-4.0.1.EL is already installed


So I can't easily use up2date in a default fashion to update all the
errata packages on a system. I consider this a pain to maintainence of
any quantity of boxes we may deploy. Cheers, -Ali

Comment 4 greyhair 2003-12-18 08:26:00 UTC

check to see if kernel-2.4.21-4.EL is installed.
rpm -q kernel
if you do, remove kernel-2.4.21-4.EL  and you 
should not see the:

RPM package conflict error.  The message was:
Test install failed because of package conflicts:
package kernel-2.4.21-4.0.1.EL is already installed

Comment 5 greyhair 2003-12-18 08:30:01 UTC

Isn't bug 108480 simular?  Thats how I determined the work arround 
previously posted.

Comment 6 nathan r. hruby 2003-12-18 12:16:28 UTC

Right, but the point is that you maybe don't want to remove the known
good working kernel :)  up2date *should* allow you to have multiple
kernel packages installed, the bug is that it doesn't (eg: the code is
in there, but it's broken :)

Comment 7 Adrian Likins 2003-12-18 18:47:24 UTC

dupe of 108480.

Yes. It is a bug. Yes, a fix is coming.
