Description of problem: fedora-kmod plugin will cause yum to uninstall kernel modules being used by the running kernel. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-fedorakmod 0.6-2.fc5 How reproducible: Have two kernel versions installed; be running the older version. yum update prompts to install a new kernel, it's prereqs; and to uninstall the kernel you're _not_ running, plus any kmod packages you're using against the older (running) kernel on your system. Steps to Reproduce: As above. In this case, I have two kernels and two kmod's installed, and I'm running the older of the two: [cweyl@zeus x86_64]$ rpmquery kernel kernel-2.6.16-1.2122_FC5 kernel-2.6.17-1.2139_FC5 [cweyl@zeus x86_64]$ rpmquery kmod-nvidia kmod-nvidia-1.0.8762-2.2.6.17_1.2139_FC5 kmod-nvidia-1.0.8762-1.2.6.16_1.2122_FC5 [cweyl@zeus x86_64]$ uname -r 2.6.16-1.2122_FC5 Today kernel 2145 was released. Yum update yields: Installing: kernel x86_64 2.6.17-1.2145_FC5 updates kernel-devel x86_64 2.6.17-1.2145_FC5 updates kmod-nvidia x86_64 1.0.8762-2.2.6.17_1.2145_FC5 livna ... Removing: kernel x86_64 2.6.17-1.2139_FC5 installed kernel-devel x86_64 2.6.17-1.2139_FC5 installed kmod-nvidia x86_64 1.0.8762-1.2.6.16_1.2122_FC5 installed ... Removing for dependencies: kmod-nvidia x86_64 1.0.8762-2.2.6.17_1.2139_FC5 installed Expected results: The installonlyn plugin recognizes that you're running a specific kernel and doesn't try to uninstall it. Shouldn't the kmod plugin do the same, and not try to uninstall kmod packages that match the running version of the kernel?
So this bug has been sitting for a loooooooooooong time. Have you experienced it on f7 or f8?
Ah, what's a year or two :) AFAIK, it's still present. However, I switched back to apt not too long after posting this bug, so...
Okay, sorry to hear that. I'm going to provisionally close this bug insufficient_data and ask jack to take a look at it b/c of the kmod involvement. thanks
