Ok, I of course figured out how to install by first installing the
cman-kernel module then cman, but if cman had a dependency on
cman-kernel and cman-kernel had a dependency on kernel shouldn't
these just roll-up properly?
The same can be said about drbd.
These kernel modules should also provide just the explicit modules
they carry and not list themselves as the whole provider of
/lib/modules/...
Well that's my $.02 at least, maybe these dependency issues are
just a manifestation of the current version of RPM or some
inherited upstream brain damage.
