[SOLVED] Is kernel26-lts intended to replace kernel26?

novak · 2010-06-04 14:08:32

I use kernel26. Doing pacman -Syu today (2010-06-04) kernel26 2.6.33.4-1 would be automatically replaced by kernel26-lts-2.6.32.15-1 if I confirm to proceed with installation. Is this migration to LTS intended?

No that shouldn't be:

um... can you post the output? I do not understand how that is happening.

novak · 2010-06-04 14:41:56

The output is here (I had to change locale to en):

Proceed with installation? [Y/n]

But I use kernel26:

# pacman -Q kernel26
kernel26 2.6.33.4-1

You also have kernel26-lts installed but probably do not use it, It is just being upgraded.

Same Issues here. But I've found out, that the cause is the new "nouveau-firmware" package . It depends on "nouveau-drm-lts" instead of "nouveau-drm". And "nouveau-drm-lts" depends on "kernel-lts"...
Isn't nouveau-firmware obsolete nowadays (or soon becomes)?

btw: 1st post, Hello everyone!

I do not have kernel26-lts installed. That is why I was curious when I saw it between the targets. But it's all FYI - I can put it to IgnorePkg.

# pacman -Q kernel26-lts
error: package "kernel26-lts" not found

metzengerstein is right. It was caused be nouveau-firmware. Thanks.
