Yum bug with kernel-source-2.6.6-1.383 (noarch)

[Matias Feliciano]

My yum.conf :
exactarch=0
usecachedb=1

rpmdb-fedora is installed.

$ rpm -q kernel
kernel-2.6.5-1.358


$ rpm -q kernel-source
package kernel-source is not installed          (normal)


$ yum info kernel-source

$ rpm -q kernel-source

More "strange".

Manually add the "old" kernel-source
$ rpm -i qt-devel-3.3.2-2.i386.rpm kernel-source-2.6.5-1.358.i386.rpm

This work :-)

$ rpm -q kernel-source
kernel-source-2.6.5-1.358
kernel-source-2.6.6-1.383    (fine)


$ yum info kernel-source

No 2.6.6-1.383.


Perhaps it's because kernel-source change its arch from "i386" to
"noarch".

Please note that the default yum.conf use "exactarch=1".
I don't think it's a good idea to change kernel-source arch during FC2 .
I think we should push this change for FC3.
