Description Axel Straschil 2006-05-09 13:16:01 UTC
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

Just to be sure, the issue here is that mirrors are out of sync, right?

Comment 2 Axel Straschil 2006-05-10 05:25:17 UTC
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
