[OpenAFS-devel] Installing freshly built kernel module on FC5.

[Alan Hoyle]

Hey all,

I want to run FC5 with a recent (latest?) SMP kernel.  I've rebuilt
the openafs kernel RPM using the following command:

# rpmbuild --rebuild --target=`uname -m` /tmp/openafs-1.4.4-fc5.2.src.rpm

However, when I try to install it, I get the following error message:

# rpm -Uhv /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i686/openafs-kernel-smp-1.4.4-2.6.20_1.2307.fc5smp_2.i686.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        kernel-smp-i686 = 2.6.20-1.2307.fc5 is needed by
openafs-kernel-smp-1.4.4-2.6.20_1.2307.fc5smp_2.i686

I'm definitely running the correct kernel, it just looks like the
dependencies in the .spec file are screwed up.

I think it should be looking for kernel-i686 = 2.6.20-1.2307.fc5smp instead...
