Description Gerd Hoffmann 2007-07-10 11:01:08 UTC

Description of problem:
rpm automagic dependency scripts create lots of "ksym(foo)" dependendencies for
kmod-* packages.  Nobody provides these dependencies though.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
redhat-rpm-config-8.0.45-15.fc7

Comment 1 Jon Masters 2007-07-10 11:44:29 UTC

Ah. The kernel package used to provide ABI deps, but davej et al wanted it off
in Fedora - I guess that's caused this breakage (weird nobody filed this bug
before). I can disable the ksym dep generation on F7.

Jon.

Comment 2 Gerd Hoffmann 2007-07-12 15:10:25 UTC

Just disabling is probably the best.  Making the kernel rpm provide all symbols
via ksym() generates an insane big list I guess ...

See also bug 247607 while you are busy updating the package ;)

Comment 3 Jon Masters 2007-08-20 07:10:10 UTC

Ah ok. Yeah.

Jon.

Comment 4 Jon Masters 2008-04-02 22:02:33 UTC

Oops, this one fell on the floor. I'm going to check and update r-r-c shortly.

Comment 5 Jon Masters 2008-04-03 06:58:33 UTC

In F-9 the find-requires script won't call find-requires.ksyms. But we probably
want a better solution that allows for the kernel to have these kABI deps too.
