about bug #131761 (dev package not installing)

[Ricardo Veguilla]

I searched the list archive and found some previous discussions that
ended with this bug report:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=131761

Is there any solution or workaround for this?

You can boot from a kernel that had udev disabled (I think 533 or 535) and
then do it, but basically if you can't install/upgrade dev, you aren't
using it anyway, so it isn't going to matter whether it is installed or up
to date.

Ok, thats what I thought. On the other hand, will it be safe to remove
the dev package currently installed in my system?

I would not do it.  If for any reasons you will try to boot without
udev active you will find out that you are in trouble.

Add to "ignored" packages in configs for yum and/or up2date if
this is getting on your nerves (it is actually "exclude" for yum).
