Description Need Real Name 2001-11-13 23:53:09 UTC
Description of Problem:
installing kernel-2.4.9-12.i686.rpm (a security patch) on RH 7.1 prompts
for the install of  mkinitrd-3.2.6-1.i386.rpm. Attempting an install of 
mkinitrd-3.2.6-1.i386.rpm produces the following dependency:
	'filesystem >= 2.1.0 is needed by mkinitrd-3.2.6-1'

Unfortunately, there seems to be no such rpm package available for RH 7.1,
therefore the entire dependency chain of this security upgrade fails.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
7.1

How Reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. rpm -Uvh kernel-headers-2.4.9-12.i386.rpm kernel-source-2.4.9-12.i386.rpm

2. rpm -ivh kernel-2.4.9-12.i686.rpm (depends on install of
mkinitrd-3.2.6-1.i386.rpm)

3. rpm -ivh mkinitrd-3.2.6-1.i386.rpm (filesystem >= 2.1.0 is needed by
mkinitrd-3.2.6-1)

4. no filesystem-2.1.0.i386.rpm is available for download via ftp for Red
Hat Linux 7.1

Actual Results:
same

Expected Results:
no failed dependencies or existing packages to satisfy dependencies.

Look in the noarch directory.
