After a "yum update" yesterday, I have the following kernel-related RPMs installed (from "rpm -qa | grep kernel | sort"): kernel-debug-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.x86_64 kernel-debug-debuginfo-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.x86_64 kernel-debuginfo-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.x86_64 kernel-debuginfo-common-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.x86_64 kernel-firmware-2.6.28-0.121.rc7.git5.fc11.noarch kernel-headers-2.6.28-0.121.rc7.git5.fc11.x86_64 Michael Schwendt notes that "kernel-debug" has disappeared from the recent build: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=73968 compared to the F10 build: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=70131 I use "kernel-debug" instead of "kernel" so that I can provide useful debugging information to Red Hat developers when I experience a kernel oops. If "kernel-debug" is still necessary for this purpose, it would be nice to get it back. If "kernel" is sufficient, it would be nice if it were packaged in such a way that "kernel-debug" is obsoleted and eventually removed (or at least "kernel" is installed when an upgrade to "kernel-debug" is requested). Thanks!
I'm updating manually to work around this, and I had to remove kernel-debug-debuginfo before I was able to get yum to update kernel-debuginfo. Apparently they both depend on kernel-debuginfo-common. Something else to check when getting this to work automatically if kernel-debug is no longer needed.
If you're running rawhide (F11) then you won't have a kernel-debug until very close to release, because all kernels are implicitly debug kernels. You've kind of dug yourself into your own hole here, by removing the plain kernel package... They should be coinstallable and I suspect Providing or Obsoleting would cause an issue there. Closing NOTABUG.
