Get familiar with the Fedora Updates System (bodhi) and the Fedora Build System (koji). You can examine updates and related builds (= the rpms) more easily at those places. > Error: Package: kernel-tools-devel-3.5.4-2.fc17.x86_64 (@updates) > Requires: kernel-tools = 3.5.4-2.fc17 > Removing: kernel-tools-3.5.4-2.fc17.x86_64 (@updates) > kernel-tools = 3.5.4-2.fc17 > Updated By: kernel-tools-3.6.8-2.fc17.x86_64 (updates) > kernel-tools = 3.6.8-2.fc17 > Available: kernel-tools-3.3.4-5.fc17.i686 (fedora) > kernel-tools = 3.3.4-5.fc17 > You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem > You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest > > Where are the kernel tools and kernel libs for x86_64? https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-14952/kernel-3.5.4-2.fc17 -> Information for build kernel-3.5.4-2.fc17 http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=356657 Apparently, there used to be a kernel-tools-devel package. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-19337/kernel-3.6.8-2.fc17 -> Information for build kernel-3.6.8-2.fc17 http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=369421 But newer kernel builds no longer include a kernel-tools-devel package. That may be a package bug (a missing "Obsoletes" tag), but since kernels are special as several may be kept installed, perhaps the change in subpackaging is deliberate. The work-around for you is to remove the old kernel-tools-devel package. -- Fedora release 18 (Spherical Cow) - Linux 3.6.9-4.fc18.x86_64 loadavg: 0.18 0.07 0.06 -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
