Problem with latest F7 test kernel-headers 2.6.22.9

[Gilbert Sebenste]

Installing kernel 2.6.22.9 goes fine. But then I get this when installing 
the kernel-headers RPM:

# rpm -ivh kernel*.rpm
Preparing...                ########################################### 
[100%]
         package kernel-2.6.22.9-89.fc7 is already installed

         file /usr/include/linux/nl80211.h from install of 
kernel-headers-2.6.22.9-89.fc7 conflicts with file from package 
kernel-headers-2.6.22.9-88.fc7

kernel-headers isn't supposed to be parallel-installed with multiple 
versions.  rpm -Uvh kernel-headers*.rpm

Funny, I had older versions on there (8 of them), and no problems.
But since you asked, take a look for yourself what happened when I 
tried...

# rpm -q kernel-headers
kernel-headers-2.6.22.9-88.fc7
# rpm -e kernel-headers-2.6.22.9-88.fc7
error: Failed dependencies:
         kernel-headers is needed by (installed) glibc-headers-2.6-4.i386
         kernel-headers >= 2.2.1 is needed by (installed)
glibc-headers-2.6-4.i386

Do I really want to wipe out glibc? Let's try this...

# rpm -Fvh kernel-head*.rpm
Preparing...                ########################################### 
[100%]
    1:kernel-headers         ########################################### 
[100%]
# rpm -q kernel-headers
kernel-headers-2.6.22.9-89.fc7

Wellllll....I hope that worked!

Is that what Chuck said you should do? No. It was:

rpm -Uvh kernel-headers*.rpm

so no wonder you get:

error: Failed dependencies:
>           kernel-headers is needed by (installed)
> glibc-headers-2.6-4.i386

Again, not what you were told to do. When updating you are doing just that,
no freshening or removing.

Thanks, Chuck. I'll make note of this for next time!
