[ewg] kernel-ib / sles 10sp2 / zypper install issue

[Mehdi Bozzo-Rey]

Hi,

 

I ran into  the following issue on SLES 10 SP2:

 

Recompiling OFED 1.4 went just fine

I am able to install kernel-ib using rpm

When I set up a repo in order to use zipper (native SLES tool) to
perform the install, I get the following:

 

----------------------------------------------------

testsles:~ # zypper in kernel-ib

Restoring system sources...

Parsing metadata for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP2...

Problem: kernel-ib-1.4-2.6.16.60_0.21_smp.x86_64[SUSE Linux Enterprise
Server 10 SP2] cannot be installed due to missing dependencies

 Solution 1: do not install kernel-ib

  do not install kernel-ib-1.4-2.6.16.60_0.21_smp.x86_64[SUSE Linux
Enterprise Server 10 SP2]

 Solution 2: Ignore this requirement just here

But if I try to install libibverbs using zypper, everything is fine.

 

I checked on the web, no luck. I could not find any reported bug in
bugzilla so I was wondering if this kind of error was ever reported /
hit by anybody.

 

On both nodes (the one I used for compilation  and the one I used for
the install) I have kernel/kernel-source/kernel-syms installed and the
/proc/config.gz are identical. I also tried to install it on the same
node it was recompiled, same problem. The repo was created using yast.

 

The output of uname -a is :

 

testsles:~ # uname -a

Linux testsles 2.6.16.60-0.21-smp #1 SMP Tue May 6 12:41:02 UTC 2008
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

 

And for /etc/SuSE-release : 

 

testsles:~ # cat /etc/SuSE-release

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (x86_64)

VERSION = 10

PATCHLEVEL = 2

testsles:~ #

 

 

Thanks,

 

Mehdi
