The following has be reported by IBM LTC: RHN Update Agent fails to update gcc; kernel-source package can't be installed Please fill in each of the sections below. Hardware Environment: xSeries 370 6 x Intel Pentium III Xeon 700MHz 3 GB RAM Software Environment: Red Hat Linux Advanced Server 2.1 Steps to Reproduce: 1. download e-25 source rpm from RHN 2. use Update Agent to update system to latest software levels Here, I noticed (using rpm -qa | grep 'kernel') that no -source rpms were installed. Then I attempted to install the e-25 source, and I received an error: gcc >= 2.96-85 is needed by kernel-source-2.4.9-e.25 I would have thought that the Update Agent would either have installed the correct version of gcc. Note: attepmting to install the gcc rpm (which should have been updated by the Update Agent, IMO) finds more broken dependencies. This is true even after a reboot. Actual Results: Expected Results: Additional Information:Glen/Greg - this is a bug against the RHN Update Agent. Please submit this to Red Hat. Thanks.
Not sure I understand whats going on here. AS2.1 ships with gcc-2.96-108.1, which is newer than the require you mention. So _if_ it is installed, it should be new enough. Verify that gcc is installed.
closing, no response to NEEDINFO shouldnt be an issue in current releases as well
