(In reply to Marcus R���ckert from comment #22) > this seems to be the wrong solution ... why do those people have the > kernel-preempt-devel package installed if they do not use a preempt kernel? The system gets kernel-syms installed via dkms or some other stuff. And kernel-syms installs both kernel-default-devel and kernel-preempt-devel as Requires. So it's partly a long-standing issue of dkms and such stuff, which didn't surface until now. > is the generic kernel-devel package maybe pulling too many > kernel-flavor-devel packages? No, kernel-devel should be fine, and that's what I suggested in the other bug report about dkms packaging.
