</span>akmods needs the kernel-devel of running kernel system , but doesn't<br>
know at requires install time , so for me it is a bug , I usually say ,<br>
use yum install akmods-foo and kernel-devel of running kernel<br>
or like in <a href="http://rpmfusion.org/Howto/nVidia#Akmods" target="_blank">http://rpmfusion.org/Howto/nVidia#Akmods</a> :<br>
<br>
yum install akmod-nvidia-96xx "kernel-devel-uname-r == $(uname -r)"<br></blockquote></div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Best would be to have a yum/dnf plugin within akmod that would "emit" a RPM dependency based on that kernel-devel-uname-r value.<br><br>There are probably few corner cases to work through such when there is a new kernel/kernel-devel and the corresponding kernel-devel isn't there. In this case it will need to pick the kernel-devel-uname-r from the transaction.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Also this probably means that such plugin is installed "before" the akmod-foo installation is requested.<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Nicolas (kwizart)<br></div></div>
