Description mrj 1999-06-16 03:54:57 UTC

rpm -e kernel-source removes kernel-headers and things don't
compile.  kernel-source remove script should check for
package kernel-headers and leave files or reinstall or warn
or at least remove kernel-headers pkg from rpm db so rpm
-Uvh kernel-headers doesn't fail

Comment 1 Jeff Johnson 1999-06-16 11:31:59 UTC

The kernel-source package already requires kernel-headers. I suspect
that what has happened is that the /usr/src/linux symlink has been
removed with the kernel-source package.

This is a kernel packaging rather than an rpm issue: I'm changing the
component.

Assigned to jbj. changed the component to rpm

Comment 3 Jeff Johnson 2001-07-29 18:17:23 UTC

This is still a packaging, not an rpm, problem. I see nothing that
indicates otherwise.
