Summary

0008991: clearos-centos-updates contains incompatible kmod packages

Description

clearos-centos-updates contains kmod packages which are incompatible with the ClearOS kernel (kmod-igb etc). This then blocks yum update if you have your own kmod package installed. This happens to me with kmod-igb where I use my own rpm compiled directly from ElRepo.

The solution could either be not to bring the packages into clearos-centos-updates in the first place, or add "exclude=kmod-*" to the clearos-centos-updates section of /etc/yum.repos.d/clearos-upstream.repo.

A listing of packages in clearos-centos-updates gives:
kmod-cfg80211_dup.x86_64 0.1_rh1-1.el6_6 clearos-centos-updates
kmod-igb.x86_64 5.2.15_k-1.el6_7 clearos-centos-updates
kmod-iwlwifi_dup.x86_64 0.1_rh1-1.el6_6 clearos-centos-updates
kmod-iwlwifi_dup-firmware.x86_64 0.1_rh1-1.el6_6 clearos-centos-updates
kmod-mac80211_dup.x86_64 0.1_rh1-1.el6_6 clearos-centos-updates
kmod-oracleasm.x86_64 2.0.8-6.el6_7 clearos-centos-updates

At the moment this could also affect people with WiFi NIC's
