I'm got a couple of them and they both say nothing requires them:
[root@zooty /]# rpm -q -a | fgrep kernel-debug kernel-debug-devel-3.18.3-201.fc21.x86_64 kernel-debug-devel-3.17.8-300.fc21.x86_64 [root@zooty /]# rpm -qv --whatrequires kernel-debug-devel-3.18.3-201.fc21.x86_64 no package requires kernel-debug-devel-3.18.3-201.fc21.x86_64 [root@zooty /]# rpm -qv --whatrequires kernel-debug-devel-3.17.8-300.fc21.x86_64 no package requires kernel-debug-devel-3.17.8-300.fc21.x86_64
Yet, if I erase it, it comes back on the next update.
It certainly looks like it provides headers for building modules for debug kernels, but I have no debug kernels installed so it becomes very mysterious. Perhaps another mysterious side effect from splitting kernel into kernel-core and modules separately?
Do you have dkms installed?
I have F21 in a Vbox VM and, if memory serves me, it was pulled in when I installed dkms to have the Vbox video modules rebuilt when a new kernel was installed. As a matter of fact, I see this in my yum.log....
