[<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">root at belexeuli</A> lcl]# urpmi kernel-headers
Package kernel-userspace-headers-3.3.8-2.mga2.x86_64 is already installed
[<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">lcl at belexeuli</A> ~]$ rpm -qa |grep nvidia
x11-driver-video-nvidia-current-295.71-1.mga2.nonfree
nvidia-current-doc-html-295.71-1.mga2.nonfree
nvidia-current-kernel-3.3.6-desktop-2.mga2-295.49-4.mga2.nonfree
dkms-nvidia-current-295.71-1.mga2.nonfree
nvidia-current-kernel-desktop-latest-295.71-1.mga2.nonfree
nvidia-current-kernel-3.3.8-desktop-2.mga2-295.71-1.mga2.nonfree
[<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">lcl at belexeuli</A> ~]$ rpm -qa kernel*
rpm: No match.
[<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">root at belexeuli</A> lcl]# urpmi kernel-desktop-devel
In order to satisfy the
'kernel-desktop-devel-3.3.8-2.mga2|kernel-desktop-devel-3.3.8-1.mga2|kernel-desktop-devel-3.3.6-2.mga2|kernel-desktop-devel-3.3.8-2.mga2|kernel-desktop-devel-3.3.8-2.mga2|kernel-desktop-devel-3.3.8-2.mga2|kernel-desktop-devel-3.3.6-2.mga2|kernel-desktop-devel-3.3.8-1.mga2'
dependency, one of the following packages is needed:
1- kernel-desktop-devel-3.3.6-2.mga2-1-1.mga2.x86_64: The kernel-devel
files for kernel-desktop-3.3.6-2.mga2 (to upgrade)
2- kernel-desktop-devel-3.3.8-2.mga2-1-1.mga2.x86_64: The kernel-devel
files for kernel-desktop-3.3.8-2.mga2 (to upgrade)
What is your choice? (1-2) 2
Package kernel-desktop-devel-3.3.8-2.mga2-1-1.mga2.x86_64 is already
installed
Very puzzling. Maybe something does need to be urpme'd as Doug suggested.
