Description of problem: Although a kernel update has been provided (2.6.17-1.2142) there is no matching glibc-kernheaders update!!! Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): If only there was! How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. ftp download.fedora.redhat.com 2. dir kernel* 3. dir glibc-kernheaders* Actual results: step 32 above shows nothing Expected results: There must be matching included files whenever a kernel is updated. Otherwise compilation will produce severe inoperability because old headers will contain structure definitions that are very very wrong. Additional info: Surely include files (/usr/include/linux/*) should always be updated at same time as kernel? After all, the include files are ipso-facto the interface to the kernel, with glibc being the conduit. Most kernel updates will probably affect non-glibc interfaces (eg dvb, v4l, all those file+ioctl interfaces), so it is reasonable to update kernel, and kernel include files, leaving glibc relatively stable and unchanged. It doesn't make any sense to have files like /usr/include/linux/dvb/* somehow related to glibc via glibc-kernheaders when glibcs has next-to-nothing in the way of interfaces to dvb.
This report targets the FC3 or FC4 products, which have now been EOL'd. Could you please check that it still applies to a current Fedora release, and either update the target product or close it ? Thanks.
In Fedora 7 there is a matching kernel-headers-2.6.23.12-52.fc7 package for the kernel.
