Description of problem:

The kernel-desktop-devel-$VERSION.mga7-1-1.mga7 package should depend on the kernel-desktop-$VERSION.mga7-1-1.mga7 package

The same would apply to the desktop, laptop or server versions of the kernel.

So by uninstalling a kernel version you would also uninstall its relative devel package

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

No.
This is by design.

We allow the devel packages to be installed separately so kmods can be prebuilt without having to install the kernels.
