I am just applying the latest C6 updates to a couple of KVM Linodes. It appears that the latest update of util-linux-ng has added a new dependency on the kernel package. On these VMs, the kernel package is not normally installed, and the VM runs a host-supplied kernel. But now, a "yum update" wants to install for dependencies kernel, kernel-firmware and grubby, none of which should be necessary in this environment. I have allowed it on one Linode and rebooted it. All seems ok and it is still running the host-supplied kernel, but it still grates that an unused kernel should have been required to be installed. Is this an error in util-linux-ng, or a real new requirement?
