Dependency browser shows that only the following packages require "kernel": iscsitarget microcode_ctl The *-kmp packages require kernel-$flavor. And wlan-kmp already does that, too. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Indeed, it is a bit hidden and I assumed it will be documentation not keeping up with reality. The Paragraph I especially refer to in the document mentioned in comment #0 is Paragraph 10 (page 9) ### 10 Querying Installed Kernel Module Packages Each kernel module package requires the “kernel” symbol. RPM can be used to get a list of installed kernel module packages with: $ rpm -q --whatrequires kernel novell-example-kmp-smp-1.1_2.6.16_rc1_2-0 ### If I was to build a KMP now and installed it, made this test I would be highly worried about my kmp not fullfilling this requirement. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

In the past, %suse_kernel_module_package used to add "Requires: kernel", but this has been changed to "Requires: kernel-$flavor" because of a bug where zypp tended to install multiple kernels, and needs to be reflected in the documentation. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Why not assign it to 'Documentation' then? Just closing it does not solve the issue that people are sent to a documentation that is not true (anymore). And we're talking about a document by Novell, not just one out of the community. So I think Novell should care about it. I repoened the report, changed all the attributes to reflect what it should be. It would be a pity to lose all the discussion above. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
