akmod question

[Denis Leroy]

So, trying to install the akmod version of open-vm-tools on current F-10 
yields the following error:


$ sudo yum -y install akmod-open-vm-tools
[...]
--> Processing Dependency: open-vm-tools-kmod-common >= 0.0.0.123053 for 
package: akmod-open-vm-tools-0.0.0.123053-1.fc10.5.i686
[...]
Error: Missing Dependency: kernel-uname-r = 2.6.27.21-170.2.56.fc10.i686 
is needed by package 
kmod-open-vm-tools-2.6.27.21-170.2.56.fc10.i686-0.0.0.142982-1.fc10.3.i686 
(rpmfusion-free-updates)


It appears the akmod package requires a kernel-specific component. 
Doesn't that sort of defeat the purpose of using akmod in the first place ?
