Description of problem: I have an rawhide kernel and drivers installed, but need to install a newer version of a previous kernel and drivers, but dnf won't allow it.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dnf-0.5.1-1.fc20.noarch
hawkey-0.4.14-1.fc20.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Following kernels are already installed:
kernel-core-3.15.0-0.rc4.git0.1.fc21.x86_64
kernel-modules-extra-3.15.0-0.rc4.git0.1.fc21.x86_64
kernel-3.13.10-200.fc20.x86_64
kernel-modules-3.15.0-0.rc4.git0.1.fc21.x86_64

2. Download from koji:
kernel-3.14.3-200.fc20.x86_64.rpm
kernel-modules-extra-3.14.3-200.fc20.x86_64.rpm

3. dnf install *rpm (these are the only two rpms in the current directory)

Actual results:

Error: Transaction check error:
  package kernel-modules-extra-3.15.0-0.rc4.git0.1.fc21.x86_64 (which is newer than kernel-modules-extra-3.14.3-200.fc20.x86_64) is already installed


Expected results:

It should be possible to install both this kernel and its modules-extra.

Maybe this is a kernel packaging problem, confusion resulting from recent kernel-core + etc change? rpm also complains

rpm -ivh *rpm

I know I've done this successfully in the past because I bounce around with newer and older kernels all the time. But I think this is not specifially a dnf bug. Kernel?

Thanks for the report, we'll take a look.

Comment 3 Ales Kozumplik 2014-05-12 13:43:13 UTC
This affects DNF 0.5.0 and 0.5.1 and is likely to cause problems when updating kernels and related packages. None of the relevant releases were pushed to F20. Fixed upstream by 22076d2.
