[Spacewalk-list] Kickstart and kernels

Hola,

I've been interested in the discussion in another thread about packages
failing to install if there are duplicates within different channels.

At the moment I'm trying to install a base Centos7 installation, but using
the elrepo 4.4 kernels to allow for specialised hardware support.

I have successfully added the elrepo repo, added it to a new channel, added
the channel to the profile in question. A1.

The elrepo kernel is called kernel-lt to distinguish it from regular
kernels (the lt represents the long-term, stable branch from the Linux
Kernel Archives)

Now I add these lines to the software tab to make sure the kernel is
installed:

kernel-lt
kernel-lt-headers
kernel-lt-devel
kernel-lt-tools
kernel-lt-tools-libs
kernel-lt-tools-libs-devel

I get the following failure message:

kernel-lt-tools conflicts with kernel-tools-3.10.0-327.13.1.el7.x86_64
kernel-lt-tools-libs conflicts with
kernel-tools-libs-3.10.0-327.13.1.el7.x86_64

If I comment those two out I get the (duh, obvious)

kernel-lt-tools-libs-devel conflicts with
kernel-tools-libs-devel-3.10.0-327.13.1.el7.x86_64

and if I comment that out, it all installs correctly, and boots into the
newer kernel. Excellent. Except that I want those extra packages.

Have I done something wrong, is there a fix I'm missing, or is installing
them in a post install script the best way?

Cheers
L.
