The problem stem from inconsistencies in the database.
The files
hdlist.cz, and depslist.ordered
contain a refernce to old kernel rpms, while the RPMS dir contain new
versions. In order to succeed, replace 10 with 11 as follows:
(check both files above)
kernel-2.4.0-11mdk -1
kernel-doc-2.4.0-11mdk -1
kernel-headers-2.4.0-11mdk -1
kernel-pcmcia-cs-2.4.0-11mdk -1
kernel-smp-2.4.0-11mdk -1
kernel-source-2.4.0-11mdk -1
kernel-utils-2.4.0-11mdk -1
lm_utils-2.4.0_2.5.5-11mdk -1
After doing so I was able to install cooker with no complaints.
However, from my experience, it seems that these files are incosistent most
of the time and it would have been nice if some procedure existed for making
them updated locally so a fresh install could be done.
This request should probably be directed to the developers themselves.
