[Fedora-livecd-list] livecd-creator complaining about older version of kernel rpm

[William Cohen]

Hi All,

I was attempting to make a livecd the required pieces of software for systemtap. 
I was following the instructions on:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraLiveCD/LiveCDHowTo

Earlier I was successful in building a live CD. Given the amount of time 
required to download stuff I was trying to use the existing CD as starting 
point. The following command was run:


livecd-creator \
--repo=c6,http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/6/i386/os/ \
--repo=c6di,http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/6/i386/debug/ \
--repo=c6_upd,http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/6/i386/ 
\
--repo=c6_updi,http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/6/i386/debug/ 
\
--repo=lcd6,http://people.redhat.com/davidz/livecd/i386/ \
--repo=e6,http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/6/i386/ \
--package=fedora-livecd-gnome \
--package=kernel-debuginfo \
--package=systemtap \
--package=systemtap-runtime \
--package=elfutils-devel \
--package=elfutils \
--package=gcc \
--fslabel=Fedora-6-Zod-LiveCD-1-stap0 \
--base-on=/home/wcohen/Fedora-6-Zod-LiveCD-1-woot.iso


I saw the following error message during the process:

Transaction Check Error:
   package kernel-2.6.19-1.2911.fc6 (which is newer than 
kernel-2.6.19-1.2895.fc6) is already installed

There are multiple kernel rpm in the updates directory. Shouldn't the older one 
be ignored and no error occur?  Or is there something that is forcing it to be 
pulled in? I am tryed adding the following option to the command line, but got 
the same result:

--exclude-package=kernel-2.6.19-1.2895.fc6

The previously created Fedora-6-Zod-LiveCD-1-woot.iso has a 2.6.19-1.2911.fc6 
kernel in it.
