[LU-6300] Dependency mismatch for RHEL ppc64 client kernel RPM

• Status: Resolved
• Project: Lustre
• Fix Version/s: Lustre 2.8.0
• Type: Bug
• Priority: Minor

• Severity: 3

Description

The Redhat kernel RPM the following dependencies:

rpm -q --provides kernel-2.6.32-431.29.2.el6.ppc64
kernel = 2.6.32-431.29.2.el6
kernel-ppc64 = 2.6.32-431.29.2.el6
...

The Lustre client module requires the following kernel:

rpm -q --requires lustre-client-modules-2.6.92-2.6.32_431.29.2.el6.ppc64_g33984c0.ppc64
...
kernel = 2.6.32-431.29.2.el6.ppc64
...

This leads to the situation that the client modules can't be installed.
Fix is to add the line:

-e 's/\.ppc64$//'

to line

%define krequires %(bash -c "echo %{kversion} | sed -e 's/\.x86_64$//' -e 's/\.i[3456]86$//' -e 's/-smp$//' -e 's/-bigsmp$//' -e 's/-ppc64$//' -e 's/-default$//'")

in lustre-release/lustre.spec.in.

Hi Frank, would you be able to submit a patch for this?

[Frank Heckes (Inactive)]

Yes, I will.

[Andreas Dilger]

It looks like it would be possible to just change:

sed -e 's/\.x86_64$//' -e 's/\.i[3456]86$//' -e 's/-smp$//' -e 's/-bigsmp$//' -e 's/-ppc64$//' -e 's/-default$//'")

to

sed -e 's/\.x86_64$//' -e 's/\.i[3456]86$//' -e 's/-smp$//' -e 's/-bigsmp$//' -e 's/[\.-]ppc64$//' -e 's/-default$//'")

I took your suggestion. I was unsure whether the - has to be escaped, too (as it's a range operator) in the [ ], but it seems to work as expected (checked it with some different input strings).
