After building new kmod packages for the latest RHEL5 kernel I discovered that rpm is very unhappy with the naming convention. Yum refuses to install the package claiming that
kmod-openafs-1.4.5-2.2.6.18_53.1.4.el5 is newer than
kmod-openafs-1.4.5-1.2.6.18_53.1.13.el5.
If these are literally what you've got, then something odd has happened. Note the leading '1' in the release string of the second RPM name, compared to the 2 which leads the release of the first kernel module.
In this case, RPM is doing the correct thing - it's warning you that the kernel module for Openafs 1.4.5 (RPM release 2) is newer than the one for OpenAFS 1.4.5 (RPM release 1). Are both RPMs built from the same SPEC file, with the same parameters?
OpenAFS.org does have kernel modules for this kernel - kmod- openafs-1.4.6-2.2.6.18_53.el5.i686.rpm, but we're only doing builds for the latest OpenAFS release at the moment.
If you like, I could get our build environment to spit out a 1.4.5 module for you.
And, as a more general question (that will probably have someone shout at me about disk space): Would it be of use if I built RPM kernel modules for older OpenAFS releases, too?
