I have experienced the issues with some other packages as well. Was having quite a few issues, used apt to get current, but I am still experiencing the same issue as describe here with the kernel doc update. The Redhat Network Alert icon and up2date do not agree as to the number of updates available. Currently, hovering the cursor over the alert icon shows that there 10 updates avaialable (0 ignored). Looking at the list of packages, I see *9* listed. These are the 8 that up2date knows about plus the kernel doc package mentioned above. Following the update, hovering shows 2 updates available, 0 ignored and the list of updates availabe contains only the kernel doc package. Fedora Core 2 with all the updates installed that will install. Still having this problem, but found this in my log file: Modifying bootloader config to include the new kernel info Adding 2.6.6-1.435.2.3 to bootloader config Running lilo with the new configuration When I installed FC2 I opted to install the whole CD set, so I guess that included LILO. Seems up2date might be preferring LILO over GRUB (I'm using GRUB), but it *is* adding the kernel to GRUB's list, its just not making it the default to boot from. I've also had this problem with the kernel-doc package, and worked around it with rpm -e kernel-doc; up2date kernel-doc. I also ran into this bug with the mozilla packages; I had installed Dag Wieers' Mozilla 1.6 packages, and needed to remove them before up2date would install the FC2 Mozilla 1.7 packages. |
