How do you use conflicts? It's in the source rpm. Example: Conflicts: kernel-PAE > kernel-PAE-2.6.33.5-128.fc13 Conflicts: kernel > kernel-PAE-2.6.33.5-128.fc13 > > If the kmod is installed first, > > > > How do I make "if" less iffy? In the case where you don't have any kmod installed and there isn't one available for the latest kernel you have installed, you'd reboot to make sure you are running a kernel supported by the kmod you are interested in, uninstall all of the later kernels and then install the kmod. > You'll have to explain this whole process.

It needs to be done upstream in RPMFusion. I would expect the packagers there to know how to use conflicts. I don't know whether or not they have thought of using it to solve your problem. I don't know that they'd accept that as a solution to the problem. If you want something to change you should ask them about it. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
