Description of problem:
Breaks upgrade.... Not sure why you did it, but last two test builds
have had the new name (kernel-sourcecode vs. kernel-source)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. download kernel-sourcecode vs. kernel-source
    

Additional info:

Not sure why you changed this name, I did not go through massive email
lists to determine if it was predetermined, but using yum or even
up2date does not upgrade the kernel-source when the kernel is upgraded.

Comment 1 Barry K. Nathan 2004-06-09 01:41:17 UTC
The updated kernel packages change the kernel-source arch, from i386
or x86_64 or whatever, to noarch. This was making up2date and yum
explode for some people, thus the name change to prevent that.

Comment 2 Joseph M. Brutto 2004-06-14 15:03:53 UTC
I just updated FC2 with up2date to use 2.6.6-1.427.
As stated above, the source did not get updated.

I downloaded and installed the kernel-sourcecode-2.6.6-1.427.noarch.rpm

On the next kernel release that is recognized by up2date, does anyone
know if it will also pick up the updated kernel source?

Comment 3 Barry K. Nathan 2004-06-14 21:44:43 UTC
up2date should pick up the updated kernel source next time, yes

Comment 4 Marc Williams 2004-06-15 02:51:03 UTC
I just manually updated kernel-source since up2date didn't see
kernel-source.  See the thread here:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-June/msg03786.html

Only thing is, I stumbled across it by accident.  I wonder how many
people have kernel-source but have no idea that there are updates
because up2date doesn't find the new name.

Comment 5 Marc Williams 2004-06-15 02:52:52 UTC
Oops.  That first sentence should be:
I just manually updated kernel-source since up2date didn't see
kernel-sourcecode.

Comment 6 Sitsofe Wheeler 2004-06-16 11:12:24 UTC
Can a warning about this be put into the changelog or rpm information?
I only just stumbled across this bug after looking at a yum repository
and spotting the name change after wondering why the kernel source
wasn't being pulled in by a nightly update. 

On the mailing list someone suggests yum upgrade. Yes this pull in
kernel-sourcecode but yum upgrade is broken and tries to suck in
packages to update to compat-db which it mistakenly thinks obsoletes
db4 (bug 123911 possibly won't be fixed in FC2). It's also a shame
that the little RHN applet doesn't warn you about this problem
(perhaps I should spin off a bug there).

Comment 7 Dave Jones 2004-11-20 04:32:47 UTC
its a bit late to fix this in any way now.
(And for FC3 it went away completely anyway)
