Can you include the full output and run yum with the -d9 option? thanks. not really, yum decided not to install the new rawhide kernel package because it depended on rawhide dracut packages, that were not installable because of a conflicting dracut package the dracut people had asked me to test (was supposed to shed light on the boot over md failures). However it had already marked one kernel for deletion and did delete it during the transaction. Well to cut things short the experimental dracut ended in total crap and I'm rebuilding this system raid right now. So the system is not available for testing (hope I won't lose a month of data). You can simulate by doing a rpm -e --nodeps of dracut* and installing the latest dracut package harald scratch-built in koji Right, so skip-broken removed the install part but not the remove part. I'm going to say this is NaB. You still have the current kernel, there are a couple of ways to keep extra kernels about ... the fact installonly_limit removed an old one to make room, which wasn't needed isn't really the same as a real dep. |
Description of problem: As part of trying to keep a limited number of kernel packages on system, yum will remove an old kernel every time it installs a new one (in cruise mode) The problem is, it will do so even if it decided it won't install the new kernel after all Paquets omis en raison de problèmes de dépendances : dracut-kernel-001-9.git6f0e469d.fc12.noarch depuis rawhide kernel-2.6.31-17.fc12.x86_64 depuis koji-f12-builds Dépendances résolues ================================================================================ Paquet Architecture Version Dépôt Taille ================================================================================ Mise à jour: ...
