Description Paolo Bonzini 2011-04-26 10:22:02 UTC

Description of problem:
Fedora 15 introduced the very useful xserver-abi pseudo-dependencies.  However, drivers with older incompatible ABIs can still be left in because the server packages do not include "Conflicts" entries for them.

(Found while submitting bug 699669).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.10.1-13.fc15
xorg-x11-drv-evdev-2.5.0-1.fc14

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Fedora 15.
2. Downgrade xorg-x11-drivers-evdev to Fedora 14 version.
3. Restart X.
  
Actual results:
Module fails to load, no input devices available.

Expected results:
Package cannot be downgraded.

Additional info:
From X server log:
(II) LoadModule: "evdev"
(II) Loading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/input/evdev_drv.so
(II) Module evdev: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
  compiled for 1.8.99.905, module version = 2.5.0
  Module class: X.Org XInput Driver
  ABI class: X.Org XInput driver, version 11.0
(EE) module ABI major version (11) doesn't match the server's version (12)
(II) UnloadModule: "evdev" [ 71474.080] (II) Unloading evdev
(EE) Failed to load module "evdev" (module requirement mismatch, 0)

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 14:41:25 UTC

This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
