| Summary | 0001518: kernel-ml-headers does not provide kernel-headers | ||||
| Description | After booting to ML kernel, when attempting to install gcc/glibc-devel DNF wants of older kernel headers. [root@localhost]# dnf --disablerepo=\* install *.rpm Error: Problem 1: conflicting requests - nothing provides kernel-headers >= 3.2 needed by glibc-devel-2.34-125.el9_5.1.x86_64 from @commandline Problem 2: package libxcrypt-devel-4.4.18-3.el9.x86_64 from @commandline requires glibc-devel(x86-64) >= 2.27, but none of the providers can be installed - conflicting requests - nothing provides kernel-headers >= 3.2 needed by glibc-devel-2.34-125.el9_5.1.x86_64 from @commandline Problem 3: package gcc-11.5.0-2.el9.x86_64 from @commandline requires glibc-devel >= 2.2.90-12, but none of the providers can be installed - conflicting requests - nothing provides kernel-headers >= 3.2 needed by glibc-devel-2.34-125.el9_5.1.x86_64 from @commandline Problem 4: package kernel-ml-devel-6.13.6-1.el9.elrepo.x86_64 from @commandline requires gcc, but none of the providers can be installed - package gcc-11.5.0-2.el9.x86_64 from @commandline requires glibc-devel >= 2.2.90-12, but none of the providers can be installed - conflicting requests - nothing provides kernel-headers >= 3.2 needed by glibc-devel-2.34-125.el9_5.1.x86_64 from @commandline (try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages) Providing headers for older kernel version shows many conflicts and won't install. This appears to be similar/same as https://elrepo.org/bugs/view.php?id=991 | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Attempt to install ELRepo ML kernel (6.13.6-1) headers, with glibc-devel from RHEL/Rocky 9.5 base install. | ||||

Actually you'd want to install kernel-keaders rather than kernel-ml-headers. Quoting the "Tip" section of https://elrepo.org/wiki/doku.php?id=kernel-ml : There is no need to install the kernel-ml-headers package. It is only necessary if you intend to rebuild glibc and, thus, the entire operating system. If there is a need to have the kernel headers installed, you should use the current distributed kernel-headers package as that is related to the current version of glibc. When you see a message like “your kernel headers for kernel xxx cannot be found …”, you most likely need the kernel-ml-devel package, not the kernel-ml-headers package. |

My apologies toracat I looked at the FAQs, but missed that page on kernels and the tip. Thank you for the reponse. |
