md5sum mismatch and new kernel installation
by keeneadt from LinuxQuestions.org on (#502YB)
Hi everybody. Some questions about slackpkg and kernel upgrade.
1. Sometimes after upgrade i get warnings from slackpkg about md5sum of packages. As far as i understand it means that md5sum of original (remote) package differs from md5sum of downloaded (local) package. But if i check after upgrade version of such package i can see that regardless of md5sum mismatch i have new version of package installed. I don't think this is correct behavior. Shouldn't slackpkg stop upgrading or installing package if md5sum mismatch?
2. When it comes to kernel upgrade i use this instruction https://docs.slackware.com/howtos:sl...:systemupgrade . According to "System Upgrade using SlackPkg" section i should blacklist
kernel-generic
kernel-generic-smp
kernel-huge
kernel-huge-smp
kernel-modules
kernel-modules-smp
I wonder if kernel-firmware and kernel-headers should be in this list as well? Does firmware linked somehow to kernel version or not? If kernel-headers package is used for virtualbox or other stuff, should it be blacklisted as well?
