Description of problem: kmodtool incorrectly reports the version/release of fc9/fc10 kernels. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): redhat-rpm-config-9.0.3-3.fc10.noarch How reproducible: 100% reproducible Steps to Reproduce: 1. kmodtool verrel `uname -r` 2. see that it includes the arch in the verrel 3. note that that's incorrect, because the kernel-devel rpm uses the 'verrel' for the kernel-devel-ARCH provides rule Actual results: [warlord@pgpdev src]$ uname -r 2.6.27.9-159.fc10.i686 [warlord@pgpdev src]$ /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/kmodtool verrel `uname -r` 2.6.27.9-159.fc10.i686 but from rpm -q --provides kernel-devel: kernel-devel-i686 = 2.6.27.9-73.fc9 This is important as well because the kmodtool rpmtemplate inserts the following: BuildRequires: kernel-devel-%{_target_cpu} = 2.6.27.9-159.fc10.i686 ... which is definitely incorrect. Expected results: kmodtool verrel should return the correct version/release for fc9/fc10 kernels. In particular, the verrel should drop the arch, so: kmodtool verrel 2.6.27.9-159.fc10.i686 should return: 2.6.27.9-159.fc10 Additional info: I haven't tested this on the alternate (PAE/Xen) kernels, but I believe they are equally incorrect.
Created attachment 330364 [details] Patch that seems to correct the problem Here's a patch that seems to correct the problem, although it might not be the "best" path to take. I don't know "shell regex" so I implemented it using sed. This new version seems to work for me.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '10'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
