Thank you for the pointer and the explanation. I'm working on a bug in
which after the transactions listed occur then the installation of the kmod
kernel drivers rpm will not work right and the openvswitch kernel module
drivers are installed to a completely separate directory in /lib/modules.
Normally after installing the kmod rpm you'll see something like this:
[root@Unknown ~]# find /lib/modules -name "openvswitch.ko"
/lib/modules/3.10.0-514.el7.x86_64/kernel/net/openvswitch/openvswitch.ko
/lib/modules/3.10.0-514.el7.x86_64/weak-updates/openvswitch/openvswitch.ko
/lib/modules/3.10.0-514.6.1.el7.x86_64/extra/openvswitch/openvswitch.ko
However, when this bug occurs you see only this instead after installing the
same kmod rpm.
[root@Unknown ~]# find /lib/modules -name "openvswitch.ko"
/lib/modules/3.10.0-514.el7.x86_64/kernel/net/openvswitch/openvswitch.ko
/lib/modules/3.10.0-514.6.1.el7.x86_64/extra/openvswitch/openvswitch.ko
The running kernel is 3.10.0-514.el7.x86_64 so after the kmod rpm install
the system continues to use the older openvswitch kernel driver.
It's very perplexing to say the least...
Does that happen with or without using weak-modules?
Without - we have not yet implemented your suggested post install and
uninstall scripts.
