Description Kevin Otte 2004-01-28 16:32:19 UTC

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030922

Description of problem:
The kernel-unsupported package does not depend on its matching kernel
package.

eg: kernel-unsupported-2.4.21-9.EL should depend on kernel-2.4.21-9.EL

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


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have older kernel installed (eg: kernel-2.4.21.4-EL)
2. up2date kernel-unsupported

    

Actual Results:  kernel-unsupported for 2.4.21-9-EL will be installed
but not kernel-2.4.21-9-EL

Expected Results:  both kernel and kernel-unsupported should be
installed by up2date

Comment 1 Arjan van de Ven 2004-01-28 16:33:55 UTC
thisis not a bug since you need to be able to install
kernel-unsupported before kernel; and a dependency as you propose
prevents that.


Comment 2 Kevin Otte 2004-01-29 17:14:03 UTC
Why would kernel-unsupported need to be loaded before kernel? 
kernel-unsupported without its matching kernel package is useless.


Comment 3 Arjan van de Ven 2004-01-29 18:40:54 UTC
because you can have drivers that need to go into the initrd that gets
made in the %post of the main kernel package.
