Summary0001049: kmod-wireguard won't install on CentOS 7.8 due to kernel version mismatch
DescriptionThe kmod-wireguard module cannot be installed on CentOS 7.8 because the kernel version it requires (>= 3.10.0-1160.el7) does not yet exists in the CentOS repositories. The current CentOS 7 kernel version is 3.10.0-1127.el7. This not only breaks installation of the package on new machines, it also breaks updating existing installations.
Steps To Reproduce# yum -y install kmod-wireguard wireguard-tools
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, versionlock
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
 * base: mirror.hostnet.nl
 * elrepo: ftp.nluug.nl
 * epel: mirror.hostnet.nl
 * extras: mirrors.xtom.nl

This is not a bug, but a support issue and would be better suited to the mailing list.

Kernel-3.10.0-1160.el7 (the el7.9 release kernel) is available from the CR repository for CentOS. Please seek support from CentOS channels (mailing lists, IRC)

Currently, there are two versions of the latest wireguard release available in the elrepo repository, built for el7.8 and el7.9 releases:

kmod-wireguard-1.0.20200908-1.el7_8.elrepo.x86_64.rpm <-- for el7.8
kmod-wireguard-1.0.20200908-2.el7_9.elrepo.x86_64.rpm <-- for el7.9

As you have seen, you will not be able to install mod-wireguard-1.0.20200908-2.el7_9.elrepo.x86_64.rpm until you have updated your kernel to the el7.9 release.

If you do not want to manage this stuff manually, you can install yum-plugin-elrepo which will manage things for you by masking any kmod packages from yum for which prerequisite kernels are not yet available to you (yum).
