Description jon.fairbairn 2009-07-26 16:35:39 CEST

Attempting to update kmod-em8300 to kmod-em8300-0.17.3-1.fc11.1.x86_64 and kmod-em8300-2.6.29.6-213.fc11.x86_64-0.17.3-1.fc11.1.x86_64 fails because of:

Missing Dependency: em8300-kmod-common >= 0.17.3 is needed by package kmod-em8300-2.6.29.6-213.fc11.x86_64-0.17.3-1.fc11.1.x86_64 (rpmfusion-free-updates)

and em8300-kmod-common is provided by em8300, which was available from fedora repo but is no-longer. Presumably it was supposed to go to rpmfusion but didn't make the journey?

This is preventing me from running kernel 2.6.29.6-213
(or preventing me from getting TV, I suppose I do have a choice here).

em8300 0.17.3 is currently sitting in updates-testing for 9 days already. So I think we have to wait until it is moved into stable. The update should work then.

Also see:

Comment 2 jon.fairbairn 2009-07-30 18:20:10 CEST

It seems to me that when fedora releases a new kernel, kmod-em8300 should be rebuilt for that kernel against the version of em8300 (-common) that exists in the fedora repo. 

So rebuilding of kmod-em8300 would be triggered by two different events: new kernel, and new em8300.

I'm having a very similar problem with Fedora *12* five months later using akmod-em8300 instead. Is this really fixed?

em8300-kmod-common >= 0.17.4 is needed by package akmod-em8300-0.17.4-1.fc12.1.i686 (rpmfusion-free-updates)

I DON'T see an updates testing package at all to satisfy this, nor is there anything in development that is different from what is available through yum normally. The devel and utils pacakges are out of date, too (as in, not the same version of the other em8300 packages). I'm reopening this bug.

However, perhaps this should be published on the Red Hat Bugzilla? The packages in question are on the Fedora repositories (or, at least from what I understand, they should be). Someone please let me know.
