yum update && yum install kernel-devel brings different versions
Last modified: 2014-01-21 17:54:25 EST
Description of problem: Doing a'yum update' 'yum install kernel-devel' can result in different versions of kernel and kernel-devel, and so, a manual building of modules (i.d. drbd) ist not possible. How reproducible: yum update kernel #On a mirror with latest kernel yum update kernel-devel #On a mirror not having latest kernel-devel Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum update kernel 2. yum update kernel-devel Actual results: If the choosen mirrors have different kernel versions, kernel and kernel-devel differs Expected results: kernel and kernel-devel in same version Additional info:
Just to be sure, the issue here is that mirrors are out of sync, right?
Not shure, I try to give a simple Example: 1) doing a yum -y update I get a mirror where the where the latest kernel RPM ist kernel-1001, it is getting installed. 2) doing yum -y install kernel-devel I get a mirror not having kernel-devel-1001, so, yum is installing a other kernel-devel-????, as now. I can compile kernel-modules now (i.d. drbd), but the dont fit into my kernel ;-) I think that not all mirrors are allways in sync is a given hard fact, not a problem, for me as user, the problem is that 'yum install kernel-devel' does not force to install the kernel-devel for my actual kernel (which was installed with yum update), so, for me it is a missinig dependency. Thanks, AXEL.
We have some bits in the mirror infrastructure to help avoid this problem now
