Description Madison Kelly 2011-12-24 22:33:14 UTC
Description of problem:

kernel-PAE-3.2.0-0.rc6.git3.1.fc17.i686 creates the symlink;

/lib/modules/3.2.0-0.rc6.git3.1.fc17.i686.PAE/build -> ../../../usr/src/kernels/3.2.0-0.rc6.git3.1.fc17.i686.PAE, but the target doesn't exist. It looks like it should be ../../../usr/src/kernels/3.2.0-0.rc6.git3.1.fc17.i686 (no .PAE).

This breaks 'cluster's ./configure, though I am sure it's not the only effected program.

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

kernel-PAE-3.1.6-1.fc16.i686
kernel-PAE-3.2.0-0.rc6.git3.1.fc17.i686

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install the i686 kernel source
2. Look at the symlinks mentioned
3.
  
Actual results:

Symlink should point to source, but doesn't.

Expected results:

Symlink should point to source.

Additional info:

System was fully up to date as of 2011-12-24

Comment 1 Madison Kelly 2011-12-24 22:38:53 UTC
yum -y install kernel-PAE-devel was missing. It wasn't installed by; 

yum groupinstall "Development Libraries" "Development Tools" "Fedora Packager"

Is this by design? If not, can someone move this ticket to the appropriate place? If it is intended to skip that package, please close this as NOTABUG.

None of those groups are really intended to be used for kernel development.

I wouldn't go so far as to say by design, but it's certainly correct that the various kernel-devel packages aren't intended to be in those groups.

Is there a more appropriate group?

Is there something further worth exploring? Given this is closed, probably not. :)

Cheers
