Description Ville Skyttä 2005-02-09 07:43:07 UTC 
As discussed with David, the intention in the Rawhide kernel-devel packages is
to make it possible to install multiple of those for different archs in
parallel.  As shown below, it does not work for all of them.  David reported
that he was able to install the ppc and ppc64 devel packages in parallel, maybe
that's because of ppc64 being multiarch and "allowing" ppc packages too.

Comment 1 Ville Skyttä 2005-02-09 07:45:50 UTC 
Oh, and "rpm -U" vs "rpm -i" does not affect the problem in any way.
Comment 2 Rik van Riel 2005-03-15 03:35:35 UTC 
Mmmm, not sure how to fix this bug in a backwards compatible way...
Comment 3 Rik van Riel 2005-03-15 15:54:52 UTC 
One aspect of this bug are file conflicts in /lib/modules/${KVERREL}/, in
particular the symlinks build and source.  Those can be fixed by moving the
symlinks into the kernel-* packages, out of kernel-*-devel, as suggested in bug
#149210.

I have proposed a patch for that today.
Comment 4 Rik van Riel 2005-03-29 19:53:21 UTC 
And indeed, RPM isn't willing to install the two - even though there are no
longer any file conflicts.  Over to fedora-maintainers to figure out what we
want to do...

Comment 5 Rik van Riel 2005-05-19 20:22:57 UTC 
I guess the code we have now is as far as we should go ;)
Comment 6 Ville Skyttä 2005-10-27 19:02:46 UTC 
Cc'ing Jeremy per today's FESCO meeting.  Re: comment 5, no objections here.
