I am a newbie and do not know as much in detail abt packages. However,
I noticed something strange while installing gcc. I started with bare
minimum 'no-base' install with a kickstart file, so I didn't have gcc
in it. Later, when I installed gcc the 'kernel-headers' packages was
marked to be updated to 2.6.18-128.1.10.el5 for dependency issues.
Here is a summary:
=============================================================================
Package Arch Version Repository Size
=============================================================================
Installing:
gcc i386 4.1.2-44.el5 base 5.2 M
Updating:
glibc i686 2.5-34 base 5.2 M
glibc-common i386 2.5-34 base 16 M
libgcc i386 4.1.2-44.el5 base 94 k
Installing for dependencies:
binutils i386 2.17.50.0.6-9.el5 base 2.9 M
cpp i386 4.1.2-44.el5 base 2.7 M
glibc-devel i386 2.5-34 base 2.0 M
glibc-headers i386 2.5-34 base 598 k
kernel-headers i386 2.6.18-128.1.10.el5 updates 917 k
libgomp i386 4.3.2-7.el5 base 67 k
However, the kernel is 2.6.18-92.el5. The mismatch in kernel and
kernel-headers is confusing me. Any insights?
Thanks,
CS.
