Well, if that's the case, then yum should replace all kernel-bigsmp packages, not just an arbitrary one, but I cannot find any reason, why it should do this at all, if the package is in _installonly_ mode. At least, this is how I understand such a mode. > This looks like kernel-pae is not adequately providing what it is > obsoleting. Hmm, all it obsoletes, it also provides: Provides: k_smp4G kernel-bigsmp Obsoletes: k_smp4G kernel-bigsmp Pete _______________________________________________ Yum-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/mailman/listinfo/yum-devel
