Kernel packages showing version confusion in main-testing/Kahinah

Here:

https://kahinah.rxu.tech/builds/4233

I see 2 packages with 4.15.12-1omv-1-2

kernel-release-desktop-4.15.12-1omv-1-2.x86_64.binary
kernel-release-desktop-devel-4.15.12-1omv-1-2.x86_64.binary

All the other packages show version 4.15.12-1

cpupower-4.15.12-1.x86_64.binary
kernel-release-desktop-latest-4.15.12-1.x86_64.binary
kernel-release-desktop-devel-latest-4.15.12-1.x86_64.binary
kernel-release-headers-1:4.15.12-1.x86_64.binary

That will lead to problems. One I already see is that ‘urpmi --auto-update’ will only pull the kernel-release-desktop and kernel-release-desktop-devel and will not pull the corresponding cpupower, kernel-release-desktop-devel-latest, kernel-release-desktop-latest, and importantly kernel-release-headers. Not installing the correct kernel-release-headers will likely cause issues. Kinda big issues.

Note: In the 1st 2 packages there is 1omv-1-2 in the others that is missing. I believe 1omv or something/omv is supposed to be there in all packages so something like a missed line or missed input in spec file??

Testers: I put a block on these packages in Kahinah. Also anyone using main-testing repo may want to put the following in ‘/etc/urpmi/skip.list’:

kernel-release-desktop-devel-4.15.12-1omv-1-2
kernel-release-desktop-4.15.12-1omv-1-2

And don’t forget, you’ll want to remove that from skip.list when the correct packages with corrected versions are built.
