[opensuse-kernel] conflict between kernel-flavor and kernel-syms
by Hans-Peter Jansen 08 Feb '08

Hi, I typically manage my setups with yum, where I'm still on openSUSE 10.2, but one thing is really disturbing: Transaction Check Error: file /lib/modules/2.6.18.8-0.8-bigsmp/modules.alias conflicts between attempted installs of kernel-bigsmp-2.6.18.8-0.8 and kernel-syms-2.6.18.8-0.8 which isn't a big surprise, since: > rpm -qvlp i586/kernel-bigsmp-2.6.18.8-0.8.i586.rpm | grep modules.alias -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 307579 Jan 21 17:36 /lib/modules/2.6.18.8-0.8-bigsmp/modules.alias > rpm -qvlp i586/kernel-syms-2.6.18.8-0.8.i586.rpm | grep modules.alias -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 307579 Jan 21 17:52 /lib/modules/2.6.18.8-0.8-bigsmp/modules.alias -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 308322 Jan 21 17:52 /lib/modules/2.6.18.8-0.8-debug/modules.alias -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 306176 Jan 21 17:52 /lib/modules/2.6.18.8-0.8-default/modules.alias -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 306441 Jan 21 17:53 /lib/modules/2.6.18.8-0.8-kdump/modules.alias -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4086 Jan 21 17:53 /lib/modules/2.6.18.8-0.8-um/modules.alias -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 296385 Jan 21 17:53 /lib/modules/2.6.18.8-0.8-vanilla/modules.alias -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 290340 Jan 21 17:53 /lib/modules/2.6.18.8-0.8-xen/modules.alias -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 290259 Jan 21 17:53 /lib/modules/2.6.18.8-0.8-xenpae/modules.alias Aren't these packages supposed to be installed together?

What is "MOL"? Mac on Linux?
