Hey,
Having a bit of difficulty installing the 2.6.16 srpm for FC5:
# yum list | grep kernel
kernel.i686 2.6.16-1.2122_FC5 installed
kernel-devel.i686 2.6.16-1.2122_FC5 installed
-- snip --
# uname -r
2.6.16-1.2122_FC5
All looks fine, right? Installing the srpm does this:
# rpm -ivvh kernel-2.6.16-1.2122_FC5.src.rpm
D: ============== kernel-2.6.16-1.2122_FC5.src.rpm

A bit confused, RPM was downloaded straight from http://
download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/5/SRPMS/
Can anybody point me in the right direction to trace this error? Am a
bit lost - never had an RPM issue like this - nowt in dmesg or /var/
log/messages.
Thanks!
Ben
