And one thing more while at it:
Currently yum removes kernel-module-STHG-X.Y-V.R while installing
kernel-module-STHG-X.Z-V.R - even if there is no conflict
in packages.
(X.Y / X.Z - kernel version-release,
V.R - package version-release)
The design goal of kernel-module-STHG-X.Y packages was to
allow their peacefull coexistence on the system...
Small patch in the attachment will add packages named:
kernel-module-* and kernel-smp-devel-* to the list of
'install only packages' fixing that problem.
I would be in favour of including that patch in next yum
update on SL4 .. (of course after morte testing !)
Cheers
Jarek
PS: At first glance it seems that this patch would break
yum when trying to update:
kernel-module-STHG-X.Y-R.V to
kernel-module-STHG-X.Y-R.W
but this does not happen (at least not with rpm 4.3.3)
as in worst case yum RPM test transaction will replace
the former with the later even if both are of
install only type.
