You would if you tried to update the kernel (thus removing the old kernel which is a dependency of the cman-kernel packages). However, _normally_ you DO NOT want to upgrade a kernel - you instead install a new one, reboot into it at some time in the future - and only when everything is verified to be working do you uninstall the old one. You often have more than one kernel installed at once (I usually keep a UP kernel, an old verified working SMP kernel, and the newest SMP kernel which is currently being used). Furthermore not every module fits with every kernel so I can't imagine how this could be fixed automatically with the above notes... I guess having some sort of automagical build system in place could possibly work? To be executed at kernel install... But even that would not always be correct. Cheers, MaZe.
