Hello,
Is it normal that versions of these packages differs?
I wasnt aware of that, but kernel-uek-headers version is 2.6.32 while kernel-uel and kernel-uek-devel are 2.6.39.
I was notified about that when I installed virtualbox additions:
[root@ena-testbed-01 cdrom]# sh ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing VirtualBox 4.1.18 Guest Additions for Linux.........
VirtualBox Guest Additions installer
Removing installed version 4.1.18 of VirtualBox Guest Additions...
Removing existing VirtualBox DKMS kernel modules [ OK ]
Removing existing VirtualBox non-DKMS kernel modules [ OK ]
Building the VirtualBox Guest Additions kernel modules
The headers for the current running kernel were not found. If the following
module compilation fails then this could be the reason.
The missing package can be probably installed with
yum install kernel-uek-devel-2.6.39-200.29.2.el6uek.x86_64
Building the main Guest Additions module [ OK ]
Building the shared folder support module [ OK ]
Building the OpenGL support module [ OK ]
Doing non-kernel setup of the Guest Additions [ OK ]
...
...
Good news: it not seems to break functionnality at this time.
I tried couple of yum clean all + yum update without any changes...
