Description Andrea Turrini 2011-04-28 09:38:55 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0

The YaST2 drbd module requires the package drbd-kmp-<flavour> but this is not available in standard repositories (e.g, repo-oss and update).

Moreover, looking for such package in software.opensuse.org, drbd-kmp-<flavour> is available only for openSUSE 11.2 and below.

However, kernel-<flavour> provides the drbd.ko module that is the only content of the package drbd-kmp-<flavour> available for openSUSE 11.2 and below, so it seems to me that this requirement is useless.

Moreover, it induces a warning on possible errors in YaST. If I enable the drbd server, I obtain a popup error saying "Start Drbd service failed" but the service is running and the "Start drbd server now" button is disabled and the "Stop drbd server now" is enabled.

I do not know whether this behaviour is just a consequence of the "broken" dependency or it is a different bug...

y2logs after invoking "yast2 drbd"

The log contains two attempts: the first one (around Apr, 29 at 08:45) I started yast2 drbd and then clicked "Cancel" in the popup requiring drbd-kmp-default.
In the second one, I clicked Install; then Continue in the popup about YaST may not work properly if continuing without installing required packages; then I started drbd server in the current status; finally I clicked Finish.
